The Problem

Fishing often starts before sunrise. At around 4 a.m., fishers are already moving across the water and casting their nets in low visibility. Better light matters for seeing where they are going, where the nets are landing and what is happening around the gear.

What We Built

We built Ankor, a compact battery-powered clamp lamp that fixes to a boat surface and keeps light close to the people, nets and tasks on board.

Key Features

Clamp mounting

Uses a clamp mechanism designed to secure the lamp to a surface.

Directed LED light

Uses a 3W cold-white LED for focused lighting.

Rechargeable battery

Uses a 3000mAh, 4V Li-ion battery.

Use Cases

Fishing boats

Can be clamped near nets, gear, catch or working surfaces.

Dockside preparation

Can be positioned during sorting, packing or equipment checks.

On-water tasks

Designed to place light closer to the work happening on board.
