I bought 4 last year, sold all but 1. Honestly I didn’t like them at all. It’s a nice idea however, with some draw backs. The bag I stored them in the light switch had the tendency to turn on by itself if something bumped the switch. Get to the fishing spot batteries are dead....now u have a tip up that has no indication of a strike....and there a royal pain to change the batteries. Also they freeze up badly....yes u can bank snow or ice around them but good luck getting it unstuck bc of the shape....to answer your question yes there durable and the light is crazy bright so truly it’s not a problem seeing them during the day, if it had an alarm with lights it would
be way better....I have one left I’ll give u a good deal on and u can try one for yourself PM me if interested....but honestly buy a jaw jacked or a bite me box you’d be much happier
