Fish Trap Lighting

Was at our local Alco and picked up one of these today, removed the magnet from the back and secured a piece of velcro and here you have it shanty lighting,

Now all ya need to do is shave your head so it reflects the light.

That's a great idea! I have the rope lights and think your ides would be even better. Smaller, lighter.

Rope lights work ok! we usually just tie our head lamps to the pole. seems to work pretty well.

Hank,

Is there anyway that you can rig that light to flash when a flag goes up? Sorry, I forgot you had sirens on your tip ups.
