Come on Baby Light My FireBrite & Porty


Recommended Posts

I have been with friends that have used some of these new style LEDs lights while night fishing in their portables and the units I have seen never convinced me enough to switch over from a 12v bulb. Also the stories of issues right out of the box when brand new, weak connection points and poor customer service if a problem should arise turned me away. I have known several people who have gotten "Konged" out of their hard earned money when ordering LED strips online from the other options available out their in www.com land. On top of these defective strips being shipped, when an issue occurs with some of these other options, good luck. No returned e-mails and money lost to the just being "took" seems to be the norm.

Well this year word was getting around that HSO's own Outdoors Pro Store was going to have some new style FireBrite LED light available. After hearing from some who got on them when they first came out, I started thinking maybe I should look into these. Well I did and I will tell you what hooked my in with this order. Pay-Pal! For one I have unused funds in my Pay-Pal account. The other options do not offer this and if I recall in the ice fishing forum back in 07 or 08 people were reporting "issues" during the billing process with these over seas companies (nope no the kind where you are issued an unexpected credit) & using credit cards. Well my order of two 48" strips went as easy as 1,2,3,. Less than a week later they were sitting at more door step.

The FireBrite LED strips are extremely cool. No trying to solder tiny points and starting out with a broken contact. These babies are pre wires with gator clips. Technically they come with everything you need to install. The dual black velcro strips that hold the wound up power cords can be used to mount the strip to a pole in a pinch. I went the route of the elec. tie option and they are in place no matter when I need light.

Here are a couple images of the strips installed:

Here is the link which will explain how to order your set today! Scroll down to the FireBrite leds towards the bottom.

The main service rep Joe even contacted me to inform when the package was being shipped. It was going to be a day later than my order confirm stated and I believe this is why, but I would have never even noticed because they came in the time frame I was expecting.

Thanks guys! Great price and love my FireBrite lights!

    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
    • The water looked and smelled disgusting with hundreds of thousands of birds sh*tting in there.  About as gross as the Salton Sea. When I duck hunted there I didn't even want to touch the water.
    • It's kinda gross with the algae in the summer but I got in it anyway.  Wanted to see the increased bouyancy at work.  You can kinda tuck yourself into a ball and you'll just float with your head above water.  When dry off you look diamond encrusted with the salt.
    • We went to the flats too. I dipped a tire on the rental car onto it just to say I’ve been there,but it was still pretty soft from winter melt. After seeing some moron in a BMW suv get dragged out of the muck I had no intention of repeating his stupidity. 
    • I've been out on the flats. It's like being on a different planet
