crappie55409 Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 ratherbefishing im looking at lighting options for both my portables and my permanent shack this year. I imagine you can hook up these LED strips to your vexilar battery and how badly would that drain your vexilar battery life?i will likely go with something like this.good luck this yearcrappiehunter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Northlander Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 I have a 48" strip from the Outdoor Pro Store here on HSO and when I ordered they got to my house 2 days later. Thats good service. I tried these lights out and man are they bright. I think the 48"er will be more than enough in my new Thermal Otter Lodge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

we are 'the leading edge' HSO Creators Joe Posted December 5, 2011 we are 'the leading edge' HSO Creators Share Posted December 5, 2011 Not sure of the run time??? Maybe some other can chime in? I thought i read on here up to 20 hrs i thought? We had a 38 inch running for nearly 20 hours on a 12 volt 7amp at the show and they were still shining bri8ght when we tore down. We have a lot of guys saying well over 25 hours.These babies are going like hotcakes. So there will be a bit of a delay getting them to folks who ordfer now. We expect more in on the 12th but they are already sold. We have a bunch more coming in around the 19th so get your order in as it's first come first served.

Northlander Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 I set the 48" strip up in my Otter Thermal Lodge and man does it light that baby up.

Do you leave them on one of the cross bars when you pack up or do you have to tare them down? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

harvey lee Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 purplecatman I use tie velcro straps that come with them and zip tie them to the support poles and they stay there all the time. Never had any issues yet. Boy, I wish I was Northlander's friend for a free set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borch Posted December 13, 2011 Share Posted December 13, 2011 How are you installing the Firebrite LEDs? Do you leave them on one of the cross bars when you pack up or do you have to tare them down?

Northlander Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 It would only be an issue if they lights were used below the waterline. We keep the lights above the water fishinguru. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrizzlyAdams Posted December 15, 2011 Share Posted December 15, 2011 Just ordered 2 48inch strips for my otter resort and a 39inch for my otter cottage. Can't wait to get them and install them and see how they look. I have a small 12inch strip already and those are pretty bright but wanted a little more for each house. Now I won't have to transfer back and forth and can zip tie them in and leave em. Can't wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Stark Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I set up a 39in string of FireBrite LEDs in my Frabill Commando today. They are very nice. They light up everything inside the shelter. I used them tonight for some evening walleye fishing. They worked great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
we are 'the leading edge' HSO Creators Rick Posted December 17, 2011 we are 'the leading edge' HSO Creators Share Posted December 17, 2011 I was blinded by the Firebrites when I looked directly at them at the ice show. Time to move on from the old tube LEDs into the FireBrite LEDs - much brighter.Guess I'm getting a couple for my portable as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfpd403 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Got mine yesterday, installed today. Pretty sure a blind guy could see at night with these.Well worth the money and wait! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
castmaster Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 I am a little confused after watching Borch's video. He mentions he is installing 2 48" on the top bar, which would equal 8' total in light strips. But in the picture it shows the 2 strips with a fair distance between them. So either his shack is about 20' wide, or those strips arent 48" long. When he talks about the ones on the fron bar he says they are 24cm long.Just want to make the ones listed in the ProStore are in fact 48 INCHES in length. So when placed on the top bar of an Otter Lodge one will be left with roughly a foot between either end on the light strip and the side walls.

Ice Wolf Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 When you mount this 48" strip of lights on the overhead support bar on your portable how do you protect the lamps from getting hit or broken. Can you place the lights in a 4' pics of clear flex tubeing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
