waxworm09 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 I have always used a propane lantern in my 5X6 clam portable but looking for a different lighting system. What is a cheap alternative to the propane lantern? The green 1 lb tanks are getting pretty expensive, hoping to find another way to light the house, thanks.

AndRo Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 The Frabill Shelter Quad Light Bars work really well, are light and pack easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trump34 Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 The Frabill Shelter Quad Light Bars work really well, are light and pack easy. These work well in a flip over style house when you can position the lights directly over the holes on one of the poles. I tried to make it work in my hub style house with 4 people in it. There was no good way to position it without 2 People having significant shadows. I haven't found a good solution yet but I'm working on it.

Brad B Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I only use the Clam light bar now. I lights up the house like high noon. I even use two of the light bars in my hub house by slipping them between the roof and the poles that hold it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstermoose78 Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 I used this light last year and it is cheap it uses 2 double A batteries and they lasted a long time. Also it was is nice because it has a hook on the bottom and magnet. The magnet is nice when loading you gear in the truck you stick it on the top of the box and it will not fall off. Another nice thing is carrying a couple extra double A batteries does not weigh you down. I still use the the light for packing up now that I have a new Jason Mitchell flip over with the light bar. The arms of this light swing out and rotate so you can focus the light where you want it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JigginIsLife Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 http://www.tmart.com/72cm-LED-Strip-Car-Flexible-Light-Bar-Line-White_p104827.htmlCheapest price by far, and can run atleast 6 days on a regular vex battery. I have 4 in my house, lights it up like the 4th of july when all of them are on. I have them all on a rocker switch panel so i can control them, depending on how my house is set up and what im doing inside the house. different lengths (all in metric though) but this is by far the best deal. I had them zip tied and electrical taped up so they wouldn't move, and they have lasted me 7 years, and i still have 2 strands of the original 3. I broke one when i had a hub style house and was in a gnarly storm up on leech Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kerryd15 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Check out northern bright lights. One string will do. Get the dimmer kit. You can turn them down to just watch the bobber or turn them up to tie lures on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monstermoose78 Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 I should add the light I posted is 19 bucks and it comes with batteries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
walleye vision Posted January 7, 2015 Share Posted January 7, 2015 Luci lights....solar powered/rechargable 10 LED lanterns that last 8hrs on a full charge. They about half the size of a coffee can when inflated...yes inflated. They deflate to half an inch thick and weigh 4oz. They are made for backpacking but will work well for fishing. Google them, they're awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
