Why Are Dock Lights Green?

How Dock Lights Attract Fish

Many people living in, or visiting, coastal areas have probably seen a fair amount of green dock lights in the water. Most assume, with reason, that the color green is what attracts fish to the light. Surprisingly, that’s not exactly true!

Most fish lights, when lit out of the water, actually illuminate white. After they are placed in the water, the light turns green. That’s because these bulbs are reflecting off particles in the water. This reflection gives the lights their green color.

This particle reflection attracts small baitfish to the light. In turn, these baitfish attract larger predator fish in the area. Because our dock lights automatically come on every night, the larger predator fish get used to the feeding cycle and will show up each night.

Fish Aren’t Picky With Colors

Because most fish lights are green, doesn’t mean they have to be. Here are Underwater Fish Light, we offer a Caribbean Blue system that illuminates an icy-blue color. Even though it is not green, the light still attracts the same amount of predator fish each night!

Baitfish and the predator fish that follow do not care what color the light under the water is. They simply care about the illumination of the particles in the water. These particles are home to tiny microorganisms that are a great food source to baitfish. So, as long as there is reflection, there will be fish!

No matter where you are located, these lights will attract fish! Each different location has the potential to bring in different species of marine life!

Our Underwater Fish Lights create what we like to call a “Backyard Aquarium”. Our systems simply enhance the natural food source in the waterway, we can guarantee you’ll see fish! All of our dock light systems have photocells that automatically turn the system on every night at dusk and off every morning at dawn. The continued nightly use will create a feeding cycle for the fish, to keep the fish coming back every night!
