The round 24 LED lights?

They work very well. I put two of them in my Otter Lodge and lights up the area nice.

Don't know about battery life, but I imagine they should go quite a while. Should be pretty easy to do the math and figure it out. They use 4 AA's

I think the claim is 80hrs. I would guess anywhere from 50-60hrs

I got one at F Farm last year and put rechargeable batteries in it. after a few minutes the bulbs started exploding. I exchanged it for another one and the same thing happened. I think as long as you don't use rechargeable batteries in it they're good. I got a 48 led light from Northern and it works fine on the rechargeable batteries.

I have the UFO light and the 12 volt LED Robe Light.

Hands down the rope light is better light. Zip tie to the pipe in your portable or mount in your preminant house for late night fishing or night light. I have and extra VEX battery that i use for the rope lights. This is better than buying AA batteries all the time. I tore my UFO ligtht apart to try and wire for a VEX battery but have not fiqured it out yet.

Good luck

These lights work well for the money. You can get alot of run time out of them and I love how portable they are. I did have one [PoorWordUsage] out on me right away, so I assume that was a defective one, but the other one I have has worked fine without an issue. I also picked up one of the 42 light units from Northern Tool a few weeks ago, and though I haven't used it on the ice yet, I have in the garage as a work light, and have been real happy with it.

I have had the LEDs explode on me when I was using regular batteries. I currently have 2 of them and when they break I am done with them. The other day one of the rings of lights were dimmer than the other, not built with quality or probly not designed for the cold. They give off good light I will give them that.

    • By The way that didn't work either!! Screw it I'll just use the cellular. 
    • It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.
    • 😂 yea pretty amazing how b o o b i e s gets flagged, but they can't respond or tell me why I  can't get logged in here on my laptop but I can on my cellular  😪
    • I grilled some brats yesterday, maybe next weekend will the next round...  
    • You got word censored cuz you said        B o o b ies….. haha.   Yeah, no… grilling is on hiatus for a bit.
    • Chicken mine,  melded in Mccormick poultry seasoning for 24 hours.  Grill will get a break till the frigid temps go away!
    • we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
    • I haven’t done any leaf springs for a long time and I can’t completely see the connections in your pics BUT I I’d be rounding up: PB Blaster, torch, 3 lb hammer, chisel, cut off tool, breaker bar, Jack stands or blocks.   This kind of stuff usually isn’t the easiest.   I would think you would be able to get at what you need by keeping the house up with Jack stands and getting the pressure off that suspension, then attack the hardware.  But again, I don’t feel like I can see everything going on there.
