Floating Night Light Fish Feeder - MADE IN USA
Continuous High-Protein Feeding After Dark
The Floating Night Light Fish Feeder creates a steady source of high-protein forage by attracting insects directly over the water at night.
Most insects contain roughly 55%–60% protein on a dry-matter basis, along with fats and other nutrients that support fish growth and body condition.
As insects gather around the light, many land on or fall into the water, creating a reliable nighttime feeding station.
Unlike traditional feeders that require electricity, timers, and regular refilling, the Floating Night Light Fish Feeder operates night after night with minimal maintenance. Used alone in remote locations or alongside automatic feeders, it extends feeding opportunities beyond daylight hours.

Recommended Coverage
| Pond Size | Recommended Configuration |
|---|---|
| 1/4–1/2 Acre | One 4-Light Feeder |

For trophy fish programs, production ponds, or waters with heavy feeding pressure, we generally recommend the higher end of the range.
Distributing multiple feeders around a pond is often more effective than concentrating lights in one area, creating multiple feeding stations and spreading fish activity throughout the waterbody.

Works Alongside Pellet Feeders
The Floating Night Light Fish Feeder is designed to complement, not replace, a quality feeding program.
Automatic feeders provide a controlled ration during daylight hours. The Floating Night Light Fish Feeder adds feeding opportunities after dark by attracting high-protein insects to the water's surface.
By drawing insects throughout the night, it helps provide supplemental protein when pellet feeders are typically inactive.
For many pond owners, the ideal setup is an automatic feeder during the day and a Floating Night Light Fish Feeder at night, helping provide feeding opportunities around the clock.
Newalla Perspective
We like products that continue delivering value long after the purchase is made.
Some pond products require constant replenishment. Others become a lasting part of a pond management program.
The Floating Night Light Fish Feeder is one of them.
Once deployed, it creates feeding opportunities night after night with minimal maintenance and no feed handling. There are no bags of feed to haul, timers to program, or shore power requirements.
For remote ponds, vacation properties, production waters, and serious fish growers, it is a simple tool that keeps working long after the initial purchase.
Fish don't stop feeding when the sun goes down. Your pond shouldn't have to either.
Questions about this product
What is the difference between the Bill Dance feeder and the floating night-light feeder?
The Bill Dance automatic feeder delivers fish-food pellets on a programmed schedule. We recommend pairing it with our high-protein Triton feed. Its high-velocity blower spreads pellets across the water; adjust the feed-release setting to suit your pellet size. The floating night-light feeder attracts insects of different sizes, adding a natural food source for minnows, fingerlings and larger insect-eating fish. It creates additional feeding opportunities without a pellet hopper to refill. Insect availability varies with season and weather. Use both to combine consistent pellet feeding with supplemental natural food. The floating feeder’s lights are replaceable, allowing you to maintain the system over time.
Can the floating night-light feeder replace feeding pellets?
The floating night-light feeder adds naturally available insects to your fish’s diet without buying or refilling pellets. It’s a useful supplement, but the amount of food it provides varies with insect activity, season and weather. If you’re feeding fish for consistent growth, continue an appropriate fish-feed program and use the light to provide additional feeding opportunities.
For scheduled pellet feeding, we use and recommend our 4512 feed with 45% protein and 12% fat. Match the pellet size to the fish; naturally available insects supplement that feeding program rather than provide the same guaranteed formula.
What nutritional benefit does the floating night-light feeder provide?
Our floating night-light feeder attracts insects that give your fish an additional source of natural protein and feeding opportunities after dark. Pair it with your regular fish-feed program to combine scheduled pellet feeding with naturally available food. The UN Food and Agriculture Organization describes using lights over ponds to attract insects for fish to eat. Insect activity varies with season and weather, so the light provides a supplement whenever insects are active.
For scheduled pellet feeding, we use and recommend our 4512 feed with 45% protein and 12% fat. Match the pellet size to the fish; naturally available insects supplement that feeding program rather than provide the same guaranteed formula.
Should I choose the Dual or Quad floating night-light feeder?
We recommend the Quad floating night-light feeder for its more powerful four-light setup. In our experience, it attracts substantially more insects, creating more opportunities for your fish to feed after dark.
The two-light Dual costs less upfront and remains an option for buyers keeping their initial investment smaller. If your priority is stronger insect attraction, choose the Quad.
Where should I place my floating night-light feeder?
Place your floating night-light feeder where its solar panel receives unobstructed sunlight and fish can gather around it. Avoid shaded areas beneath trees or docks.
For a consistent feeding location, anchor it according to its instructions, leaving enough slack for normal water-level changes.
If your goal is to support your gambusia minnow population, we recommend leaving it unanchored so it can drift along the shoreline at night, bringing insect-feeding opportunities to different areas. Use this approach where the feeder will remain within your pond and clear of spillways, outlets and places where it could become stranded or tangled.
Choose a location where you can safely retrieve it for cleaning and maintenance, and check its position after storms or significant water-level changes.
