Light was suspended just above the water. Those who would give up essential liberty, to purchase a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790)

Ice fisherman use often for smelt fishing on local lake. 2 holes in the ice one for light and sonar. Other for the fishing rigs.

The originals used something akin to a car headlight. If you go that route, DO NOT run the light off the outboard motor's starting battery. Don't ask how I know. Easy to vote your way into socialism, but impossible to vote your way out of it.
