Description
Built for serious bowfishermen.
The 160W Swamp Eye® HD is the best all-around, brightest and most capable high-performance bowfishing light, engineered to deliver on-the-water performance comparable to high-wattage halogen and high-pressure sodium systems—while using a fraction of the power.
Developed through years of hands-on use by professional guides, tournament shooters, and commercial operators, this high-output LED bowfishing light delivers consistent, usable performance in muddy, stained, and clear water alike.
Unlike traditional fixed-color bowfishing lights, the Swamp Eye® HD lets you adjust both color temperature and brightness on the fly. Dial in the exact color output for water clarity, depth, and bottom composition—resulting in less glare, reduced eye fatigue, and more fish spotted earlier.
Built with a marine-grade IP69K waterproof housing, the Swamp Eye® HD is designed to survive saltwater, freshwater, vibration, pressure washing, and long nights on the water.
Optimized for generator-powered systems, the Swamp Eye® HD delivers consistent, high-output performance under load, with compatibility for deep-cycle or lithium battery setups when needed.
If you’re looking for a true high-performance bowfishing light—not a disposable import—the 160W Swamp Eye® HD is built by bowfishermen, for bowfishermen to be the brightest, best and last light you ever bolt onto your boat.
Why It Matters
- Deliver maximum usable output and wide coverage on generator-powered boats
- See fish clearly in muddy, stained, or clear water
- Dial in the exact light output for your conditions
- Maximize brightness with industry-leading lumen per watt efficiency
- Built to withstand harsh marine environments
- Fit nearly any bowfishing setup with flexible mounting options
Who is the Swamp Eye HD Built for?
The Swamp Eye® HD is engineered to be the best bowfishing light for generator-powered boats who want the most capable lighting system available. It’s designed for anglers who demand maximum brightness, wide coverage, and consistent performance across muddy, stained, and clear water.
These lights are for those who don’t just want performance—they demand strength and rigidity. The brackets are built to take real abuse, from tree limbs smacking the side of the boat to relentless cross-country vibration while traveling from one tournament to the next.
No nonsense. No shortcuts.
The Swamp Eye® HD isn’t built to be a bowfishing light—it’s built to be the best bowfishing light for serious, generator-powered boats, and the last lighting system you’ll ever need to install.
What’s Changed Over Time?
Many bowfishermen don’t realize how different today’s Swamp Eye® HD is from the versions released one, two, or even five years ago. We treat the HD as a living platform—constantly refined through firsthand time on the water and direct feedback from guides, commercial fishermen, and long-term users.
Recent improvements include:
- Anti-reverse control lead protection to prevent damage from accidental reverse-polarity or shorted connections
- Thicker, reinforced housing for improved durability
- Additional fasteners securing the polycarbonate lens for greater rigidity
- Stainless steel cable glands replacing nylon for improved marine longevity
- Redesigned rear heatsink profile allowing drivers to be mounted to light for easier access, install, and serviceability
Every update is driven by field experience—not marketing theory—and each one improves durability, reliability, and long-term performance where it actually matters.
Born from real-world feedback and hard use, today’s Swamp Eye® HD is engineered to put more fish in the boat—now and for many seasons to come.

Customer On-The-Water Review Footage
The 160W Swamp Eye® HD Bowfishing Light is the next generation of our game-changing color tone adjustable lights. We built this Swamp Eye® bowfishing light from the ground up; with a focus on maximizing brightness, maintaining color-tone adjustability, and minimizing power draw. Whether you’re bowfishing, flounder gigging, or running a commercial fishing operation – you can rely on these Swamp Eye® flounder lights to see more fish and outlast freshwater or even harsh saltwater environments.
Re-Engineered from the Ground Up
To accomplish our goal, we had to start from scratch and build from the ground up. We utilize premium high lumen-per-watt LEDs, and completely re-engineered the power distribution and controls from our Swamp Eye® Light Bar to allow for exceptionally high efficiency in converting power into usable light output. Most bowfishing lights have power efficiencies ranging from 40% to 85% on the high end, the 160W Swamp Eye® HD Bowfishing Light operates at a 99% efficiency factor (power factor). These high efficiencies make the light output comparable to most 200+ watt LED lights or 350+ watt High Pressure Sodium Lights, at a fraction of the power consumption.
Adjust on the Fly for Clear or Muddy Water
Our innovative Swamp Eye® series of lights are the first purpose-built flounder gigging and bowfishing lights that can adjust from an HPS-like warm white color (2000k) to a halogen-like cool white color (6000k) in an instant.
These features are one of many reasons you see commercial fishermen, tournament fishermen, professional guides, and State Natural Resource Departments rely on our Swamp Eye® Lights. Don’t take our word for it – hear it from them first hand: Why Bowfishing Guides Choose the Swamp Eye HD.
