Shelter Light

I got one of those also, the one light setup. It's bright but seams to concentrate the light in a small area with dimmer light outside but might be just fine in a fish house. I will try it out over the New Years weekend. Good luck!

There are a couple key benefits to the new Frabill Shelter Lighting System. The ability to rotate and pivot the lights to "dial in" exactly where you want the light to shine is a key feature. It has 4 individual lamps, that ruin on 6 AA's, and will run about 75 to 78 continuous hours of use. The Velcro attachment offers great versatility in how and where you want to mount the light.

A very versatile light system. I have a couple, and use them in my Frabill Frontier Hub, and also use them in my Frabill Commando R2 Tec shack.

I'm seeing them as very handy come spring open water fishing too. They will prove useful for catfishing trips on shore and in the boat as flexible use area lighting.

I have the large one... works great. Will run on only 3 batteries if need be. Light pods can be turned to direct light where you need it. Puts that piece of garbage clam one to shame.

Good catch Cam...I figured that out too, that is can if need be run on only 3 AA's. So now I try to carry a extra 3 just in case it starts to fade and then I can swap out 3.

Does this light put out plenty of light for fishing? I have tried battery operated non led lights in the past and none of them put out enough light for me. Is it true that led light units put out more light? Thanks.

I am so used to my lantern now it may be tough for me to switch although I would like to get rid of the gas.

Frabill light bar works great, I leave it attached to one of my poles on my frabill guardian, I think it has plenty of light to fish/tie knots, I've had it running 4 nights now and hasn't put a dent in brightness of the lights! I angle 2 of the lights towards my holes and the others closer to me for tying knots and putting minnows on! Great light for the price!

It's a softer light than a lantern is. It offers the user plenty of focused lighting, it's good at what it does. It is ideal really for Hub Shacks, and most flip shacks.

Some new generation 12 V Light Emitting Flat Diode sealed light bars are far brighter in lumens in comparison, it really depends on the need as to if it will serve your purpose or not.

    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
    • reviving an old thread due to running into the same issue with the same year of house. not expecting anything from yetti and I already have replacement parts ordered and on the way.   I am looking for some input or feedback on how to replace the leaf springs themselves.    If I jack the house up and remove the tire, is it possible to pivot the axel assembly low enough to get to the other end of the leaf spring and remove that one bolt?   Or do I have to remove the entire pivot arm to get to it? Then I also have to factor in brake wire as well then. What a mess   My house is currently an hour away from my home at a relatives, going to go back up and look it over again and try to figure out a game plan.           Above pic is with house lowered on ice, the other end of that leaf is what I need to get to.   above pic is side that middle bolt broke and bottom 2 leafs fell out here is other side that didnt break but you can see bottom half of leaf already did but atleast bolt is still in there here is hub assembly in my garage with house lowered and tires off when I put new tires on it a couple months ago. hopefully I can raise house high enough that it can drop down far enough and not snap brake cable there so I can get to that other end of the leaf spring.
