DarnCollegeKid Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 How well do the LED strip lights work in a portable? I use a lantern now, but it is kind of clumbsy. I was thinking about getting some LEDs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 not_nuf_time Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 The cheap Gander Mountain lights are terrible. I bought two sets and threw them out after first outing. Both had over half bulbs burnt out in one use. I can't speak for the more expensive version of rope lights. I use two truck trailer led lights puchased at a truck stop. About 8 feet of wiring and you can buy the pigtail connectors at truck stop also. Love them, I use a spare vex battery and they burn very long in fact haven't worn down battery yet. Good Luck.

0 metrojoe Posted March 8, 2006 Share Posted March 8, 2006 I've got 2 of the First Ice led rope lights and they work great. I did have one bad string, but they have been going strong since I got them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 tashit Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 My Gander rope lights are working great too. Each strand has 6-8 lights that went out right away but there is still plenty of light and no more lights have gone out since I got them a few months ago.

0 metrojoe Posted March 9, 2006 Share Posted March 9, 2006 I think they did have a bad batch of those lights early on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
