I'm trying to find a portable, light weight way to supply a 12 volt lighting system to my ice shack?

I use an automotive dome light like in a police car and a 12 volt jump pack. The dome light has velcro on the bottom and velcro on the roof of the house. This way I can transfer it to and from my permanent and portible. The battery pack is for jump starting cars and has a cigarette lighter outlet. (I'm sure you have seen them at automotive stores) The pack will run the light for over 50 hours and is highly portable. I even used it to jump start a guy at the end of the night one time.

Use a regular light fixture with a pull chain, they make them plastic and are very light weight. Hook them up to a battery and get some 12 volt light bulbs.

You can use the dome lights from a car or go to a R.V.
store and they will have lights you can use. A small gel
cell in 12 volts is light and will work very good. if you have a way to take it out a deep cycle marine will last longer but is very heavy if you have to carry

The push lights are the way to go. They mount eveywhere and produce great light. No electrical wiring needed. They are cheap also.

lanterns work well they also provide heat. Try to use a
double mantle which produces more heat and light

Dave,

I've been wanting to do the same thing. I was looking at the small lights sold in the automotive section. The type that mount to a car bumper and provide additional hi-way light. They'd mount nice and provide all the light needed.
