Portable shack lighting options

Recommended Posts

I bought the FireBrite lights for my shack and my buddy is all over them. I told him they don't have anymore and wont until next season. He said he saw a bunch online that looked the same. I told him that from reading this forum I have seen many posts where people were not happy with what they bought in some cases and it is best to have a reference when buying lights like this. So my question is what is the next best alternative to the FB lights? Or is there one?

Thanks, I'd like to point him in the right direction so he doesn't pick up something he might not be happy with.

Spike.

I actually bought 5meters worth of LEDs. I split it with my dad and made 4 4 ft sections and soldered on 8 ft leads. Wire and lights came to about 15 bucks a peice and is MORE than enough light. I actually only fish with one strand on.

The overseas stuff takes a long time to get here and I have heard horror stories about customer service. But that's what you have to deal with.

The LEDs I bought have 120 LEDs per meter! Small, bright, low power consumption, and they have 3M tape on the back. I have a 12 amp hour battery that lasted over 24 hours with both strands hooked up.

Never again carriing a lantern or bulky lights. They are neatly affixed to the cross beams and that's where they stay!
