Description

BCCT LED MK50 Tip Light – 53mm – Single Pack

Product Details and Uses

The BCCT LED MK50 is a high-performance, waterproof tip light designed for the serious sea angler who refuses to let the sunset end their session. This 53mm version offers a slightly longer profile than the MK37, providing a more substantial “beacon” on your rod tip that is even easier to track against the crashing waves and dark horizon. Despite the increased length, it maintains an incredibly slim 6.2mm diameter and weighs approximately 1g, ensuring it never dampens the sensitive bite detection of your high-end shore rod.

Precision-engineered to be visible up to 100 metres away, the MK50 pumps out a crisp 60-lumen glow. It is powered by a CR435 lithium pin battery, delivering over 50 hours of continuous light—perfect for those grueling winter double-tides. Whether you’re fishing from a steep shingle beach or a high pier wall, the MK50’s IP68 waterproof construction ensures it will keep shining through salt spray, driving rain, and accidental submersions.

Why Choose the BCCT MK50 Tip Light?

• Superior Visibility: The 53mm length provides an enhanced visual indicator, making it easier to spot “pull-back” bites or subtle rattles from a distance.

• Zero Impact on Action: At just 1g, this light is so light it won’t affect the balance or recovery of even the most delicate Continental-style hybrid tips.

• Ultra-Durable Build: Rated IP68 waterproof, meaning it is fully sealed against the elements and built to withstand the vibration of heavy power casting.

   

• Massive Battery Life: Get 50+ hours of run-time from a single CR435 battery (sold separately), ensuring you aren’t left in the dark mid-session.

• Customisable Setup: Available in various colours, allowing you to “colour-code” your rods for instant identification when the action gets hectic.

Examples of Where to Use the MK50

• Shore & Beach Casting: The ultimate choice for standard UK beach fishing. The 53mm light is perfect for seeing bites when your tripod is set high to keep your line above the surf.

• Pier & Breakwater Fishing: Provides a bright, clear reference point when fishing in areas with high ambient light pollution (like streetlights or harbor lights) where smaller LEDs might get lost.

• Specimen Night Fishing: Not just for the sea! These are fantastic for night-time Barbel or Bream anglers using heavy quiver tips who need reliable, long-lasting illumination.

Gerry’s Fishing Pro Tip

To get the most secure fit, we recommend placing the bracket on your rod tip exactly between the top two guides. Use a tiny wrap of clear tape around the rod before clipping the bracket on—this gives the plastic a “bite” so it can’t slide or rotate during a massive cast. Remember: To turn the light off and save your battery, just take the battery out and put it back in the housing “pointy-end first” (upside down). It stores the battery safely without completing the circuit!

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• Does this pack include the battery?

  The MK50 is the LED unit and brackets only. You will need to purchase CR435 Pin-Style Lithium Batteries separately to power the light.

• Will it fit my ultra-slim hybrid rod tip?

  Yes! The pack includes two different bracket sizes. The smaller one is specifically designed for slim tips (2mm-4mm), while the larger one handles standard beachcaster tips (4mm-6mm).

   

• Is the LED light replaceable?

  The LED is built into the waterproof housing. Because it’s an LED, it has a massive lifespan; as long as you change the batteries, the light itself should last for years of fishing.

• Is it okay to use in heavy rain?

  Absolutely. With an IP68 rating, it is more than just “rainproof”—it’s fully waterproof and designed specifically for the harsh, wet conditions of sea fishing
