MoonLite LED Blacklights???

[Bassslayer01]

I have both and the Nucli Eye is a much better choice. The blue light on it adjusts with two settings and doesn't scare fish like a white light can. The blue light doesn't draw as many bugs and its easy on the night vision. More definition to the trees and rocks with the blue also. The light is smaller, more rugged, with a better cord and its waterproof. They have a cordless one also if you have the old sloan jacks. One light is fine for two guys to fish from while the Moonlite isn't unless you stay close together. It's $100 more but definatly worth it.

I would think it would be similar to a "strobe light" effect ....... now you see it, now you don't, see it, don't, see it, don't, etc. With the light making the line "shine", then the black spot making the line "disappear", then the line coming back into the light (shining again) ..... that would be the only effect I can think of. And, yes ... that could be a disturbing "light show", for a intent line watcher !! ... cp

I have these lights, and I can tell you that I have never seen that (strobing) affect.

I have a 20' Bass boat, use 2 of the full moons and have more than enough light... truth is we only really need 1.

I was only guessing at what "effects" were being referred to .... I really don't know, nor have I experienced that effect, either. But then, I've only used the "regular" type of blacklights.
Maybe you haven't either, because you ARE using 2 of them ... and the cross coverage/overlapping area of the lights, is keeping the "strobing" effect from happening.
Even so, and with only one of those lights on, it would seem to me that you would only experience the strobing effect, if you were fishing right over top of the light. I could be wrong ... but, it would seem to be the only way that a "dead spot" would affect the fluorescing of the line. (if that is what is occuring, and what "Spotboy" was referring to) He did say something about moving the rod side to side (I assume thru the light of the unit) ... so maybe he had his rod close to the unit (where the V of the light output is smallest) ?? ..... cp

We only added the second light recently... First couple of trips were with only the one and I dont recall any strobing affect...

We added the second light so that if we ended up fishing in two different directions... One thing about these lights is that there is very little 'side' coverage... the lights cover where you point them.

I guess if you were fishing vertically, right in front of the light, there could be some... sounds like an experiment about to happen!

That is the light show that I am talking about. Crappie Pappy the next time you fish make a cast and hold your rod down in front of the light , move your rod from left to right (or right to left ) and watch the effect It is sort of neat for a minute or two then it is very distracting. But if you hold your rod in the same spot as you work your bait you won't see this,

Lake Cumberland Outdoors showed me a Punisher & a Moonlite both last night. They hooked both of them up & the Moonlite blacklight was brighter by quite a bit. I also liked the fact that you can use the white light at the same time. The Punisher white lights were on the back. Chad that owns Moonlite told the owner of the local tackle store that if anyone brought one back regardless of the warranty being out that he'd fix or replace them at his cost. The local retailer also said he hasn't had to send one back yet, but had talked to other dealers that have had a couple issues & that Chad was tops in customer service & would 100% stand behind them regardless of warranty being expired because there was top notch componetry used in them & fixed or peplced them no ??? asked.

I have 2 full moonlites corless models and love them I like the nucli-eye but 250 dollars to see my line can,t do it now if there cheaper nucli-atom were cordless they would have a winner.

I've got one full moon, and its great. I will be getting another. If my boat was not 20 years old I would be getting the black light system that goes in the rub rail, it looks like a neat system.

For those folks who have contacted me offering advise. Thanks, but this was an old post from 2006, lol. I have two Moonlite LED Blacklights and I like em just fine. Thanks!

I thought there for a minute someone had taken over my account, because I have not posted anything in a while. Everything seems to be fine. Thanks!
