who makes the brightest L.E.D. lights

[robert1965]

I have the old clam rope lights. they are great for not using much power. but not so bright, what are my options.

Winterhaven,

The reflectix is a ductwork insulation product that is basically small cell bubble wrap laminated between two layers of silver mylar. The heating/AC section of any home improvement store should have it. I got mine at FF.

"Where do I purchase this reflectix that everyone is talking about? Also does anyone have any pics with their lights and the reflectix?"

[WinterHaven]

Thanks B@ssmaster!

I got mine at Lowes in the 24" wide version so it fits in my scout.. I have lots of extra so I am going to duct tape a few pieces together and put it up in my voyager also. Cheap stuff really I think mine was around 24 bucks?

[hanronson]

Is the "Deluxe LED Lighting System Clam" that is available an updated version of their old rope lights or one in the same? If not, has anyone tried the latest version?

[zooks]

Sorry, maybe I didn't ask the question clearly. I understand that there's a pic of the 48cm LED strip earlier in the thread, but I was hoping someone has a pic of what the "floor" of the shelter would look like with just 1 48cm strip lit up - that's why I referenced the pic with the bobbers and asked for one just like it. Thanks again.

hanronson,

I've asked the same question.

I don't think anyone on here is willing to try them with the bad reviews they got when they first came out.. Too bad, I liked the idea.

I just ordered 2-48cm and 2-24cm strips and they are on back order,( they have to make more) so it'll be a couple of weeks before I get mine. I don't think I'll need all the light but I have some ideas about wiring the strings up with a rotary switch so I am only using as much or as little light as I need.

I got the 48" roll of reflectix at menards. One strip right down the middle of the otter and still have some left.

Here`s a picture of the floor with lights.I have a 24cm strip on my back pole and a 24 cm strip on my front pole.I have a 96cm strip on my center pole.I have them hooked up on separate toggle switches.This gives me light in the sled when i need it.I beleive this picture of the floor was with just the 96 cm lights on.

[walleyewild]

Wishin, dude your bobbers down!!!!! Just getting some practice in.

Nice shack!!!

Can't wait to install the lights and computer fan in mine.

Just put in my order for the 96cm strip. Bought one for me and another for a buddy. Can't wait. First mod for my house. Wifes gonna kill me.

[WinterHaven]

Don't feel bad I placed my order yesterday for the 48cm and there is a back order on them. My wife doesn't know about my order yet either.

[hanronson]

Finally ordered two 48cm strips today. I have a 12 amp. m/c bat. that I am going to hook them up to. (from my antique 25 year old flasher ice box)

[whitetips]

Just a note of thanks for reminding me to put my order in for a couple LED lanterns, I like the strip idea, but also like fishing outiside and have other uses as with nite fishing in the boat and camping. I've burned my jackets enough and like the source next to the hole. Last year I waited too long and they were all gone.

[LMITOUT]

That's good to hear. I got the backorder email when I placed an order a few weeks ago.

Thats' one mighty nice look'n shack your wearin bud!

[Steve Eddicus]

I ordered mine (48) Tuesday and I got the Email telling me they shipped today.

I'm in the same boat you are. Ordered mine on Wednesday and was notified that they have been shipped.

[katoguy]

Do I need a seperate battery? Will the lights cause interference on my Vex?

(I received my strip a couple weeks ago and put on alligator clips this morning.)

[walleyewild]

No interference with leds. you can hook them up to the vex no problem.

[katoguy]

Thanks, ww.

I have one set of the clam rope lights and one set of the cableas rope lights. Last year I got so mad at them I just used a lantern instead. Are these 48 CM LED lights a big improvement over the clam/cabelas lights? Are they twice as bright? If so I may give them a try this winter.

I think Lake Ripley Bait and Tackle in Litchfield stock these.

I always wanted to see what the clam lights looked like. The big C in Rogers had some inside their demo portables. They were more like mood lighting. As for the HBK lights, I have yet to hear anyone who has them complain about them not being bright enough. So that's why I finally pulled the trigger and ordered a set. Should be here in a few weeks.

I came across an under the cabinet light at Walmart the other day.

It's basically 4 multi-directional battery powered LED lights.

I'm going to give that a try this year. Mount a couple pole clips to the back of it and then just snap it on to one of the overhead poles and aim each light where needed. No wires to ever worry about.

[katoguy]

If you don't have wires to worry about, then one will have to worry about more batteries dying. What type batteries are used? Are they a common battery type? The cold is hard at batteries.

I would go with lithium batterys.
