I use a Brinkmann Q-Beam starfire II attached to my battery when fishing the canyons. It is super bright, and very compact, and must be submersed. The only draw back was I had to buy duplex wire to lengthen the terminals. I spliced posi and neg wires , crimping battery clips at the end. I used 30' of wire to extend the reach to 38' from battery source, so I could also hang it from the dock in spring to squid fish(my pier is quite high off the water, and the floaters aren't in yet). It draws the squid in real nice to the light, and no reflection either. I have no experience with the green tubes, but these tubes don't appear to me to be all that bright.
