SONARAY LED Flood Lighting is a Great Choice for Commercial Fishing Applications

Some of the toughest environments in the world can be found on commercial fishing waters. From Dutch Harbor, Alaska to the lobster fishing grounds of the Mid and North Atlantic, fishermen are calling on SONARAY to help navigate the challenges of safe, effective lighting.

Recently SONARAY was featured as the choice for Carpe Diem, a brand new 60’ lobster boat fishing out of Maine. Carpe Diem tops out at 19 knots and is a state-of-the-art vessel built by Dixon Marine Group out of Nova Scotia.

Captain Ethan and his crew truly have an impressive modern craft that is built to withstand the rigors of lobster fishing, holding up to 80 traps on deck, and powered by fuel tanks with capacity to hold 1400 gallons of fuel. Carpe Diem is one of the most impressive lobster boats you will find on the water and Captain Ethan is a seasoned professional who not only knows how to fish, but also how to bring the power in his vessel to get to those lobster.

Atop the Carpe Diem are SONARAY flood lights in the 1000-watt and 520-watt variety. The 1000-watt Delta Flood Lights make for an impressive showing on the craft.

SONARAY flood lights come in a variety of sizes and beam angles ranging up to the 1000-watt Delta. The flood lights are also available in a variety of color temperatures and can even be custom designed to meet specific challenges that fishermen face. One such challenge is another vessel sailing out of Dutch Harbor and fishing the Bering Sea. This fleet of fishing boats wanted a special color temperature to help cut the dense fog they encountered. SONARAY responded by providing 2200 K color temperature flood lights to help give the captain and crew something that would help them navigate the waters safely.

SONARAY flood lighting is some of the toughest in the industry and has excellent ratings for ingress and impact protection along with anti-corrosive treatment to withstand the elements and the many tests the ocean can throw at commercial fishermen all over the world.

Thanks to Captain Ethan and the crew aboard Carpe Diem for selecting SONARAY fixtures. SONARAY wishes you tight lines and full pots along with many years of safe fishing.
