any one tried the led coleman lantern.

I tried the Coleman rechargeable, the 6 volt 190 lumens, was not happy with the amount of light it put out for $26 for the lamp and another $21 for the battery not worth it. Returned the lamp kept the battery for the Big buddy fan. Bought the Rayovac 300 lumens led much better for the same price as the Coleman. Not a rechargeable it runs off 3 d cells. Sample of the Rayovac lighting

Wow Dude that's a NICE fish house!

Its a blow up. It folds up nicely and fits in the back of full size pick up. The trick is getting in and out.

That must be the new "Executive Studio Edition" Hub shack Eh?

Hey Lunk...how long does the charge last? Saw somewhere online that it only holds up for about 2 hours. What's your experience with it?

$3 to $4 more,$29.99 the Rayovac to me is better constructed than the coleman. On a set of batteries run time can be around 60 hrs on high and 150 on low. Got mine at ace hardware but I guess Home depot and menards carry them.

$22-23 at Lowe's. Brightest portable lights I've found. Can use a lantern, and I like that the top comes off, and you can hang it upside down inside your portable. Thanks to the tips from guys on this site.

I'll be dumping all my old rope lights, saucer lights, etc.

These sound intereting ... but curious about how long the runs at peak brightness before starting to dim under exreme cold conditions we encounter ice fishing. In the past I tried rechargeble AA's and found they are very inefficient in cold conditions. Also, how long does it take to recharge fully, and if dead, does it run on the 12v DC adaptor (or is it only for recharging)?

I bought a rechargeable LED light from Sears for 45 bucks... This has two settings on it and is plenty bright on the low setting. Plus it has two rare earth magnets on the back that stick to metal tubing like glue. This is by far the best light I have found. Comes with both a 110 volt and car charger. This thing folds up flat too. Light weight and compact. I will post a pic later

Which one u talking about? The coleman n rayovac both lasts longer but the colemans brightness is not there as for the rayovac its not bad either tried frm 5pm till bout 9 n still lits up pretty well. As for the might d light its brightness is there but it doesn't have dimmer on it. And I used it for 3 hrs with the same brightness.

I have the Rayovac also as do a couple of buddies after seeing mine. Cold does not seem to be affected bu the cold but I have not used it out of the trnt in temps colder than the teens. Great little unit for the money. Last forever one standard batteries.

Love2Cabin...how long does a set of AA's last you?

I've been searching for different lighting options, tried a couple different led ropes but the ones i tried didn't put out enough light down on the ice for my liking.

So, I was at the store the other day so i picked up one of the Frabil light bars...just to see what it'd do. I was very surprised!! They put out quite a bit of light, and i like the fact that you can position the lights individually.

We have tons of rechargeable AA batteries in the house, so it's pretty much a rechargeable for me.

I don't know yet. I got about 8 hours into it and they are just as bright as day 1. I think you made a good choice.
