Personally don't use or see the need or large expense. The light produced by a fully charged glow in the dark hoochie is plenty, when on anchor for the night and its dark in the boat, I have read a mag by them. I am not fishing "deep" or on the rocks anymore, no need when only chickens are targeted. Now swordfish is a different game.

I have found some days LED lights will outfish the other gear big time, other days doesn’t make a difference. I always put 1 line down with a light on it, and often that is the line that gets the first fish

Usually whatever is cheap on eBay like these lights. I usually get green or red.

Those look bright. What I have learned is that a big jig banged on bottom from back of boat many times out fishes the side spreader bars. Octopus on jig and another bait on spreader, still jig gets the hit.

I have seen the jig out fish the bait several times when the fishing is slow.

I think hali hunt by sound/vibration, then smell and finally sight. In that order. A fresh bait, in a glow hoochie bumped on bottom has best catch record for me. Lights are for sword fish at 1800 ft.

The lights also work for Sablefish & Shortrakers at 1800'.
