Camera lighting?

[thrasher]

I got a Cabela's camera as a gift. I used it for the first time last weekend. It's fine for daylight but has IR for low light that don't seem to work at all. I'm on Mille Lacs, so the water clarity is good. I thought I've read that there are add on lights for the cameras. Red/green or blue, that reportedly give you 4-6 ft. of vision at night. Anyone know where to get these?

OK, I'll start. I just ran over to Sportsman's on lunch. There is a lighting accessory for Aqua-vu. It's no more than a waterproof flashlight that runs on batteries for $20. Not sure if white light will spook the wiley walleye.

I guess I'm not familiar with the "add on" lights, but I can tell you I have multiple light settings on my camera and they are all pretty much worthless. They work to some degree, but I always pull the camera and use the flasher at dusk.

Right now my house on a clear lake and with the multiple light settings to choose from I go with the IR. With the IR I'm limited to a max of about 3 feet of visability. If I turn on the regular lights I might gain some distance but only out to about 4 feet, which is good for about 15 minutes. After that too many of them little bugs are in the picture I'll have to shut it off until the bugs disappear.

It's like driving in a blizzard with your high beams on.

I have an older Outdoor Viewing Systems camera that has IR lights, LED lights, and no light options.  All of them seem to have their place, but about 4 feet seems to be the as far as you can really see any detail.
