I laid two 48cm strips side x side and then zip tied them together to the center pole in my Trap Pro and just used it last night and was very impressed, there is more than enough light. I have more room now in front of me on the ice now that I don't need the propane lantern.

Not sure if your looking for a flexible tube or not but I just went to the hardware store and got some clear tubing, the ACE by my house sells it to the size you want. I capped off one end, slid the LED strips in the other end and basically made my own "rope" light.

I don't mean to offend anyone but there is just no way the Gander ones are as bright as these. I have last years led rope lights from them and they will be used as "mood lighting" in the back of the house and the HK ones will be up front where it counts, the difference is signficant.

I just found some clear hose in the garage that might work. But if not I will definitely check out ACE.

Totally agree. I installed mine last weekend. I used to use 1 string of Cabelas and 1 string of the clam lights. The HKs are soooo much brighter. Can't wait to put them to use.

Note from admin, please read forum policy before posting again. Thank you.

Just ordered mine hopefully there as good as they sound. I dont want the hassle of a lantern anymore.

Found some competition for the HK led. Go to CL and search best LED. I just picked up a 4 footer for $20 and compared it to the HK LEDs. Lets just say I wont be using the HK version.

I saw that posting the other week and gave him a call. My HK lights were already on the way so I passed.

Moe, when you say you compared them to the HK lights do you have some HK lights? Did you put them side by side. Or are you comparing them to other peoples that you have seen. Just curious.

Also, do you have some picks of those lights?

I will post a picture later today. Very quality product in my opinion. Very nice guy to work with. The entire section is encapsulated(potted) with a nice connector on the end. He even provide a kit with each light set that inlcude aligator clips, zip ties, ETC. Yes I compared them side to side just a few minutes ago.

I just got my HK Led lights in the mail a few days ago. Now I need to figure out how to attach some wire leads with alligator clips. I have no idea what I am doing when it comes to this part. Should I just go to Napa and pick up this stuff? What is the best way to attach the wires together? Should I just use one of those plastic wire connectors? Also, do I just crimp the wire inside of the alligator clip?

My suggestions are to use lots and lots of shrink tubing (1/8" and 3/32"), solder your terminals (alligator or spade) and use a short piece of slightly larger gauge wire wrapped with the tiny gauge wire of the lights at your terminal connections.

I also put a large plug of silicone around the leads where they come out of the lights.

Moe, could you email me the web site that you found these at and which ones you got. krkw @ charter . net (no spaces)

Thanks....

Go to craigs list and search for "best led". Andy only leaves a phone number. They are nice pieces. They come with a nice haevy duty attached wire.

If they are in the same ballpark of brightness, that is a great improvement over the KingHong led's. Moe, if you get a chance to post some photos, that would be sweet!
