Frabill Light Bar

[HaRdWaTeR jUnKy]

That frabill light bar looks pretty neat, thinking about getting one, does anyone have one and run it off of their flasher? Thought it would be a good idea instead of buying AA batteries in bulk. Was wondering what I would need to do to run it off of my vex? Sounds like the clam fan/lights are junk thinking about building my own fan and buying the frabill lights.

I bought a rope led at schels for $12. Works pretty well. hooks on my vex. Still need a hat light for tying lures though.

the frabill light lights are great! i too think it would have been better to run them off a 7 amp battery. as far as wiring them to 12 volt, i think you would have to do some modifying to the compacitors or something, as they are i belive ran under a 9 volt configuration. i'm sure somebody here would have more knowledge about that.

I used mine the other night and it was great to be honst with you. I personally think they will alst a long tie onm the AA they are LED's for goodness sake. Just plain easy

Any more reviews, looking to get something to light up my porty?

i have one and i love it. battery life has been great so far... i'd guess ive used it for about 6-7 outings so far, each at least 2-4 hrs and it hasnt shown any signs of the batteries dying. i also really like the feature how you can adjust where each of the light points, so you can put one on each hole.

Agreed I picked one up a couple weeks ago and love it. Plenty of light for a flipover and the adjustable lights are great.

I love mine. Batteries last long enough where it wouldn't make sense to monkey with it to convert to a vex battery.

I have the clam light that has the led's for lighting up the house and then a flash light on the end. I works great. It is rechargeable. Comes with a wall charge, a car charger and can also comes with a cord to run it off of the vex. Check it out.

Not enough light for my 8x8 canvas craft returned it got a Rayovac 300 lumen lantern way better. 3 d batteries for 25 hrs for the. Same price as the Frabil light bar. The light bar may be more functionable in a flip over with the light it throws out your better off with an LED tripod light. Stanly tripod cost the same and gives off a lot more light and it can be divided into three lights or used as one.

not to start a light war but i read online that the frabill light is supposed to last 78 hrs on a set of 6 AA batteries. which would be much cheaper in the long run compared to buying big D batteries and getting a third of the run time. the difference in run times makes sense being that your light is 300 lumen and the frabill light is 72 lumen

another benefit of the frabill light is it does not need to be taken down/removed in flip over style shacks when you take your house down. one less thing to worry about

[croixflats]

Fair point but when you have good rechargeables it helps. The tripod and the lantern are great multitaskers. Na, no war here just offering up alternatives

Cabela's has them for $40. I haven't used mine on the ice yet but it worked well on the test run in the driveway and didn't get in the way when folded up.

I have been very pleased with my Frabill Quad Lights. I would recommend them easily for a hub shack, pail sitting, and for portable flips.

I even have one mounted on my pail, to the strap of my Frabill Bucket Buddy...very handy rig.

They should prove just as handy in the boat, out camping, and the hunting blind.

If you buy two of the single Frabill lights they will give off more light than the quad according to the specs. The single light gives off 70 lumens each. The quad gives off 72 lumans total. Two of the single lights are the same price as the quad.

[fishersofmen]

How about two quads? Still a small price to pay for 8 adjustable lights. I think I will get another one.

I got the quad light bar and two of the single lights for christmas. Lights up the house great. I have an otter lodge. The only thing I wished the quad light bar had was a switch that could control all of the lights individually. It would be nice to have the option to shut off a few instead of the whole bunch. Other than that, no complaint at all.

Great set of lights,for the price.I like the option,of setting each lights direction,and spacing.

At $40 a piece...thats expensive in my book. You can get a Rite Lite brand light bar at Mills or Menards that has 4 directional lights, with 3 LED bulbs in each (just like the Frabills). Runs on 6 AAA batteries. for only $20 each. They are used for closets or under cabinets. You would need to attach some velcro.

Very pleased with the light bar. I had got them when they were on sale, so i got a good deal

[desert_bulls]

Cabelas is high on their price, you can find them almost anywhere else for 10 dollars cheaper.
