Lighting is essential during any night session

Once the sun goes down, good lighting becomes just as important as your rods and rigs. Whether you need to tie a rig, get a bite in the middle of the night, or quickly search your bag for something: reliable lighting is essential for every carp angler.

At Carp-Shop, you'll find lighting specially selected for use on the waterfront. No bright construction lights that will ruin your night vision, but practical, well-designed lights that do what they're supposed to: provide light at the right time.

Why Good Lighting Is So Important

Many carp anglers underestimate lighting, right up to the point where they're fiddling with hooklink material in the pitch dark or having to unhook a fish without good visibility.

Good lighting provides:

• Safety around the spot

• Rest during nighttime bites

• Less stress when tying or unhooking

• More overview in and around your bivvy

Especially during longer sessions or night fishing, good lighting is not a luxury, but a necessity.

Headlamps keep your hands free on the water's edge

A headlamp is the number one choice for many fishermen. And it makes sense: you have light wherever you look and both hands are free.

When do you use a headlamp?

• When tying rigs

• While unhooking a fish

• When sailing with a bait boat

• In and around your bivvy

Many headlamps have multiple modes, such as white light, red light, and dim modes. Red light, in particular, is ideal for maintaining your night vision and keeping your spot quiet.

Bivvy lighting provides comfort during night sessions

For longer sessions, Bivvy lighting is a real game-changer. No lugging flashlights around, just atmospheric and functional lighting in your tent.

Benefits of bivvy lamps:

• Even illumination

• Often rechargeable via USB

• Can be hung or placed

• Sometimes with remote control or app

Good bivvy lighting not only makes your tent more practical, but also a lot more comfortable.

Flashlights & compact lighting

Besides headlamps and bivvy lights, a good flashlight is always useful. Consider:

• Lighting the water during a drill

• Checking lines

• Moving around the cutting

Compact lights are ideal to keep in your bag as a backup.

Lighting in combination with electronics

Many lights work on:

• Rechargeable batteries

• Power banks
  

That's why it's smart to combine your lighting with a good battery and/or power bank, especially during multi-day sessions.
