We bought a basic two light system back in 2013 from underwaterfishlight.com, it produces well but we've had to replace the bulbs on it a two or three times over the years due to people cracking them or fraying the wires ($170/ea). A few of our neighbors have the same system and the technical support from that company is awesome.



But there's one house that has an "ultra" system and it looks like something Joe Rogan would have shining on his studio. If price isn't an issue, and you don't mind all the attention and fishing pressure, I'd go with the ultra with how much better it produces.
They too have have had constant issues with broken bulbs and wire issues and the thing hardly ever had all 3 of their original lights working all at once.



This is the house's light box

Get an elevated halogen and shine it straight down on the water. You'll catch more fish.

I make them. You need a metal halide bulb and ballast for the wattage. I have 4 1000 watt bulbs and a 400 and two sets of 175s. I also put down a 1000 watt sodium light. I build them for less than half the cost of a purchased set.
