I've been trying to buy a "Dusk to dawn" mercury vapor light fixture, but it seems like they don't sell them anymore. I tried Lowe's & Home Depot in several different cities. For sure, Lowes tells me that they don't carry them anymore. All they carry is the bulb. Who has them?

The Academy light is only about 32 watts. I wanted the streetlamp fixture like I used before. They are 175 watts. I had one of the Academy lights before and I returned it because it wasn't very bright. Sutherlands used to carry those too.

Mercury vapor light fixtures and ballasts have been banned for a couple of years now.

Glad I had a couple old ones for my underwater light.

Puretexn,
That light looks fantastic. I would love to learn how you made that. Can you show us? Can you explain where the ballast and capacitor for that rig is located. I'm here to learn.
Thanks to all the experts on this forum.
Warm regards,
Kdub59

Kdub59, my circuit has the balast, capacitor, and photosensor in a box on the deck. Pm me if you need instructions or a circuit drawing.

High Tide,
Just sent you a PM. I'm grateful for the help, brother. Any plans or pictures you can send, that can talk me on target, would be fantastic.
Thanks again, my friend.

You might check supernovafishinglights.com
They have a fully submersible "drop" light with 290 green led's. This light
comes with an 18' cord but you can get a longer cord if needed. Depending on the cord you choose, you can run them off of a battery or you can plug them into an outlet. I have 2 of these lights and I run each one off of a 7v "deer feeder" battery or you can hook them up to your boat battery.
The owner of supernova fishing lights, Dez Davis, will also install led lights on your dock, deck, boat or kayak.
My lights have a 60' cord so I can throw them out wherever I choose. Depending on the water depth, I will get about an 8' to 10' circle of green light from each light fixture.
