Hub shack lighting

[IceAddict87]

What do you guys use for hub shack lighting? Whatever I use it never seems bright enough.

Clam hub lights have worked well for me

[Monticatgeek]

I use one or two of the Clam light sticks depending on the size of the hub I am using. I just tuck them up between the roof poles and roof fabric. battery gets placed in the overhead mesh netting that the house comes with. There are normally for sled type house but work good in hubs too when placed like I said. I use the small size one since it is only a 7/8 inch diameter verses the 1 1/4 inch large size.

I bought a strand of the cheap LED string lighting that you can get on Amazon for $15.  I attached longer wire leads and keep the lights balled up in one of the interior pockets in the hub shanty, and when I need them, I tuck the lights between the poles and the fabric.  They put off plenty of light.  I bought a dimmer that I was going to wire in, but never ended up using it.  I use a spare Milwaukee battery with the powersource to power them, but they do eat through a 5.0ah battery faster than I had thought they were going to.

I will probably check out Otter's new LED's that are coming out this year, depending how expensive they are.

I use one of these. protects my headlamp during storage and does a half decent job lighting the shack. There'a an elastic cord attached to hang from the ceiling.

I use a clam hub light in my otter resort Hub.  Lights it up well.

I forget where I bought it but it was not $50 more like $35 might have been an ice show or something

I use one of these and like it well enough, but the switches are sloppy.  You have to jiggle/wiggle them a bit to get them to turn on.  I like that's totally removable and doesn't require hooking up to a battery though.  I only have one battery for my depthfinder.

But for the money, these look like they're the exact same thing...

Just cut the plug and connect the wires to a 12v battery.

I like that!

So many wonderful options.

Nebo Poppy lantern/flashlight.

Still have my dual fuel coleman lantern...hate the broken lantern mantles but that's what spare ones are always for.

I am currently running some led work light from Ryobi.

I used many different hub lights. Most were too dim or the light wasn't where you needed it.   I finally settled on a headlamp, the light goes where you turn your head.

This.

Affordable. Easy install. Customizable. Lightweight. Efficient and bright. Can’t beat that unless you just aren’t a DIY person, which I fully understand. I use LED strips with an inline dimmer remote and that all plugs into an accessory port on my DIY battery box. Could also plug it into a sonar if you have one.

If anyone does use the LED strips, I highly suggest soldering your connections instead of relying on those “clips” you can buy. I’ve never made a reliable connection using them.
