Scheels led rope lights

[Cygolf1]

I picked up a couple sets of these lights in 6 ft sections for 12.99 a set. they were much cheaper than the ice team brand. Does anyone know how they compare to other led light sets? I plugged them into my vex battery and they did not seem that bright. Does anyone have any input on these? I have not ever seen any other so dont know if these are good or bad. Thanks

Got one for each bar on the Yukon. I have not tried them in the dark yet other than in the house. I was just looking for something other than a lantern. I have some head lights on my Christmas list to use for tying lures.

I will probably use something different later, but wanted something cheap for now. They were on sale and so was the battery and charger.

I bought one of those lights that go in your trailer that have a small push switch on the outside. I picked it up at Fleet Farm for $5 it has a clear lens. I made a bracket out of alum strap that I also bought at Fleet and I hang it from the center cross bar in my QFII. It puts enough light out to light the holes as well as being able to see to tie knots. I wired it with some clips to my lawn mower battery. I have run it on a vex battery but it only lasted about 4 hours.

A friend of mine put 3 in his 2-man Eskimo and he likes them a lot. He had problems with the vex. battery but the worked great after he got a new battery. Try a fresh or somewhat good battery. He says there's enough light.

BTW. Where did you buy them? He ordered them from Sportsmans Guide. I'm looking for a store where I can buy them. (don't want to purchase onine. Thanks

I ended up buying a set of the "First Ice" Gander Mountain brand 4 foot LED rope lights for $14.99. They work great and you can get two types (they are the same price), either the battery powered one that run off AA batteries or a set with alligator clamps built in. I opted for the ones with alligator clamps and hooked it up to my AquaVu camera battery. I didn't run it for very long, maybe 2 hours and I was very happy with the brightness. I have a Clam FishTrap Pro, and the velcro straps for the crossbars have enough slack to fit around the rope light. It took about 30 seconds to install and the house is able to fold down (including collapsing the poles) without issue. The power cord with the alligator clamps is around 12 feet long as well so you have plenty of slack to route the cable back into your sled where you have the battery. I highly recommend them.

i use 4 4 foot sec in a frabill fortress works great just dont leave your batterys on the access when u leave darn it

and when the guy next to me smashed his lantern and burnt a hole in his sled cover came over he agreed i was dialed out

I checked them out last night. They light the Yukon up well. I can do everything except tie lures. But like I said I have that covered with my Christmas wish list.

I went on hsolist and found a 12v 26 foot LED rope light with 288 white LED's. I have my boat battery mounted in my Quickflip 3, and it works great. Heavy duty and flexible. I have it zip-tied to the bars in the HSOList.I got it for around $70 including shipping. Seemed like a deal compared to the genz one (3 ft for $30).

I would agree that the LED lights can give off enough light to see around the house. For tying the jigs, you can't beat a head lamp.

Hah, I noticed that too..Clamcorp had there LED lighting system selling at 39.99 per 3 feet of rope While at the Home Depot I was able to grab 6 feet of rope for uder $10...What a deal!! Plug it into the power pack and I have endless hours of light
