Lighting your hub

[Pooh]

 I have a eskimo 6120i and I've been using a lantern, which I like because it's self contained light. Looking at something more user friendly when I have the kids with.  I want to try the cheap ebay or amazon LEDs, OR some sort or LED flood/spot light ran off a 12v battery. I'd like to get the light off the floor level and shinning down so there is less shadows.  Anyone done anything like these?

They are 19.99 come with straps to attach to your poles, and you can angle it when you attach it, and they are water proof. They also come wired to hook up to your battery, plus you can get a dimmer for them.

I've got a 36" strip of Troo Shine LED's that I use in my 6120i and they work perfectly. I just slip one them in between the poles and the fabric on the roof and run them to a vex battery I put in the mesh pocket on the side. Plenty of light.

Put some alligator clips on the wire. Hook them up to your flasher battery super bright! Doesn't drain your battery!

I did something similar. I found 5630 leds are much brighter. Through amazon I got a 16.5 foot roll for 10bucks. Cut it into 4 -4 foot pieces , only need 2, they're bright.  I found somewhere 15-22 lumen per led if I remember right. I attached it to the poles via double sided tape and a couple zip ties. I added spade connectors on a jumper wire to the ends so I can disconnect the 2 strips from strips from each other near the center hub for fold up. In the pic the hub is in my garage at 6am with the lights on the garage off. These are amazing.  I have 15 bucks into it and have 6 feet or so left over due to a mistake or 2.

 This was my next idea.  I was going to use a Gatorade bottle.  If anyone is looking for BRIGHT leds the 5630 like I used are great.  I used 8 or 9 feet. Which is more than plenty, and I like it bright. With some soldering skills a guy can get 3 or 4 strips out of one roll. If I recall correctly the 2835 leds are 3-4 lumens per led. Do you like the canister light better than the ufo style?
