1. A method of enhancing the growth of aquatic life within a natural ecosystem comprising steps of:
- submerging a vessel within water of an natural ecosystem,said vessel having at least one light emitting diode;
emitting light from the at least one light emitting diode such that the light is received by aquatic life in the natural ecosystem,predetermining the depth at which the at least one light emitting diode will be placed in the water; and
predetermining the optimum wavelength of light to emit an optimum wavelength of light or an aquatic life based on the predetermined depth.

Abstract
A lighting assembly for enhancing the growth of aquatic life in an ecosystem and method of enhancing the growth of aquatic life in such an ecosystem. The assembly includes a vessel submerged within water of the ecosystem. A substrate is disposed within and surrounded by the vessel and provides electronics to provide a conditioned current to a plurality of light emitting diodes also contained on the substrate. The light emitting diodes emit light within the water of the ecosystem that provides for growth, not only in a larger volume of the ecosystem, but in addition enhances the growth of the aquatic life.
