    I bought a LED rope lighting for my fish house. It looks like regular rope light but it’s LED and rated for 12 volt dc. It comes in 6′ lenght w/alligator clips and tie straps. I put mine along the 1/2 emt used to hold up the canvas along the roof. I put 2 in my magnum Otter house and it works good. I have not been on the water as of yet to give the real test, has any one used this before?

    Where did you get the LED Rope Lights?? Are they the Clam Corp brand? Do they hook up to a 12v battery, or can you plug them into a 12v power source like cigarette lighter?

    Thanks

    I forgot the good part, I bought them at Gander Mountain Maplewood, and they cost $10.00. They are made for ice houses and come with 6′ of wire w/alligator clips. I plan on going up to LOTW this weekend with a little Red teaser, will post field report on lights.

    Can you run those lights off your Vexilar battery?

    Yes you can run it off of a vehical battery, I also saw them at Cabela’s for $14.99 but didn’t have alligator clips on the wire.

    I just got home from Gander with 2 of these ropes. They are on sale for $7.99.

    They had one inside a display fishouse. I doubt it will light a shack very good, but it should be plenty to watch a couple bobbers and keep lines straight.

    Soft “in the mood” lighting for ice fishing! Maybe I’ll take my wife once this year.

    It’s hard to tell how bright leds are in the day light, give it a try in the dark you’ll like them.

    Good info.
    I see Fleet Farm has the Vex battery and charger of 12.99 Gander has them for 19.99 have them price matchy and beat the difference and you are a $7.00 for the battery and charger!
