Rang Dong's LED Fishing Light Boosts Catch, Cuts Fuel Costs

Fishing crews working at night depend on strong, reliable light to draw fish toward their vessels, but older metal halide lamps burn through fuel and generate heat that adds to a boat's operating costs. Rang Dong, Vietnam's leading manufacturer of LED products,  built its LED fishing light, model DC08 700W, to solve the very problem. Mounted along a boat's hull, the light throws a wide, high-intensity beam engineered specifically to attract fish at different depths and distances. This article looks at what the LED fishing light offers and how it holds up in the harsh conditions of open water.

Rang Dong rates the DC08 at 700 watts on a wide 120 V to 300 VAC operating range, with a rated supply of 220 V at 50-60 hertz, a maximum current of 6 A, and a power factor of 0.95.

Output from the LED fishing light reaches 91,000 lumens at a luminous efficacy of 130 lm/W, with a Color Rendering Index (CRI) above 70 and a 120-degree beam angle that spreads light widely across the water.

The fixture ships in four selectable color temperatures, namely 3000K,  4000K, 5000K and 6500K, letting crews match the spectrum to local fishing conditions.

Built-in surge protection rated to 10 kV guards the light against the unstable power common on fishing vessels, and Rang Dong rates it for a service life of 30,000 hours, weighing about 5.5 kg (12.1 lb) at 330 mm x 235 mm x 230 mm (13.0 x 9.3 x 9.1 in).

Exceptional features

Beyond the raw output, the LED fishing light is built specifically for saltwater conditions.

The housing combines stainless steel 304, pure anodized aluminum and corrosion-resistant PC plastic, materials chosen to resist salt corrosion and UV aging for more than 10 years of use at sea.

A dedicated IP68 cooling fan, engineered for low noise and marine environments, keeps the fixture running cool and is easy to replace when needed.

The light’s stainless steel and anodized aluminum housing resist salt corrosion at sea.

An IP66 rating seals the LED fishing light  against dust and water, while the wide voltage tolerance keeps it from interfering with a boat's communication equipment.

Compared with the metal halide lamps it replaces, Rang Dong's LED fishing light cuts fuel consumption by up to 70 percent and emits no ultraviolet light, protecting the skin and eyes of the crew working near it for hours at a time.

The design is proprietary to Rang Dong and registered for intellectual property protection, reflecting a fixture engineered and manufactured in Vietnam rather than adapted from an existing model.

Applications

The LED fishing light is designed to mount along a vessel's hull, where its beam draws fish toward the boat for purse-seine, lift-net and other common commercial fishing methods.

Ports and fish-collection areas that need strong, reliable lighting for nighttime operations benefit from the same high-output, weather-resistant design.

Since it draws less fuel and produces less heat than a metal halide setup, replacing older lighting with the LED fishing light also lowers a vessel's running costs over a full fishing season.

Rang Dong backs the light with nationwide sales and after-sales service, giving fishing operators support for installation and maintenance wherever they operate.

With high light output, saltwater-ready construction and lower fuel costs than the lamps it replaces, the LED fishing light offers commercial fishing operators a practical upgrade for demanding conditions at sea.
