I just couldn't pony up $150 plus for a submersible green fishing light so I made my own 48" one for about $60.
Ordered the inverter/ballast online ($20), bought the bulb at a light bulb store in Atlanta ($12), 48" of clear PVC from McMaster Carr ($25) and a couple of PVC fittings and some wire I had lying around. Very easy to build. Used it this weekend and it works great!
I put a 28 oz chunk of steel in the bottom end and it floats just right.
