Made one using old floor sweeper/brush collector bin handle ie 10mm id aluminum pipe as frame, plugged the end, filled with baked on cast iron pan dry sand. Few tabs of superglue to seal the another end. Put 5v usb RGB strip with soldering all colors to light up 100% when powered with 3x1.5mm rubber outdoor cable. Made couple rings from sheet PVC to center the tube that had the strip coiled around it, put pull preventer on the tubes end and routed cable trough hole drilled on side to strip, soldered on the strip and hot glued everything to prevent corrosion or condensation well as keeping the strip in place. Then push the thing into 19mm ID clear PVC universal hose and sealed the ends with construction sealant after roughening up the surfaces. To improve this after drying, roughen up the outside in the ends, put on hot glue in thin strings like you would kinda solder with it. Then shrink tube in size large witch when heated with the hot glue melted both glue and shrink the tube making it essentially glue shrink tube, but if you are not experienced with this method just get the one with glue already on. Since it didnt shrink down to cable size used another one to make it nice, just leave enough tube under or it will pop out when shrinking. On other end i took apart USB connector, soldered and superglued it in place, reinforced with some plastic and glue, then repeated the heat shrinking, but here you might want to look heavy duty USB cord and just join the two together, much easier for beginner.
Added some plastic rope with fishing knot that can be tightened and tied another end to old glass fiber tent stick, then hot glued under the knot to keep it in place, after area was roughened up. Heat shrink top of the knot with hot glue secured so it wont get loose, now debt of the light can be adjusted if you are into ice fishing. On other use cases on summer just make the string longer to tie into boat and what now, or perhaps to float if you plan on fishing from shore.
God dammit this makes it sound like 5minute crafts...-.- Well it aint since it took couple days plus drying time for the sealant that was several to be firm enough, but still not completely dry, just enough for water test.
I like that idea and I’m gonna make one. I don’t think I’ll use rebar for weight because I don’t like to make any clanking noise as the current moves the light. I think sand might work better.
love this great idea. i might have to make one but for on land.
Working on my 2nd. They work great. Thanks for doing a video
Thanks for the comment.
i have a tip for ya, amazon sell a clear 1.5" heat shrink that works great as a protective shield over the whole pipe. it keeps the water scum off the LEDs and makes it easier to keep clean.
I saw this on Fishin N Stuff’s channel last week. I’ll be adding this to my light. Thanks for the comment !
@@ScottBurnette If they are water proof lights why?
@@dondig2617 easier to keep it clean. About the only thing .
@@ScottBurnette I can see that.
Thank you sir!!!! Awesome
Thank you!
Nice information on this inexpensive green led tube. I’m gonna head to the Depot tomorrow and pickup exactly the same items as described. 100% thumbs up 👍.
thanks
TexasTaco512
Like how you showed your hook up problems!🤙
Looks great man.
Thanks
Great video
Thanks!
Ima make them but using Battery powered lights
Can't you use the "crimp and heat shrink" connectors instead of solder and heat shrink tubing to be easier?
You could use marine grade crimps, I just didn’t have any.
Hi can you tell me where you bought your blue pliees. I need yo find one like that. Thanks
I hope you are speaking of my wire strippers. Here they are: Klein Tools 1010 Long Nose Wire Cutter, Wire Crimper, Stripper and Bolt Cutter Multi Tool, 8-Inch Long www.amazon.com/dp/B0000302WX/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_tai_iZ4zFbTFHA1ZC
What would you use as a power source in the field?
Wolf74 a small 12v battery, I use the extra batteries in my boat.
what battery do you use for bank or dock fishing, and how long does it last with the lights attached. thanx!
I use it out of my boat, I hook it up to a group 27 deep cycle battery . I would bet it would run 2 or. 3 nights. I have ran it all night and it never got low. The LED’s don’t use much power .
@@ScottBurnette thanks for the quick reply. going to make one for fishing on a dock, but not sure how long battery life will be using a deer feeder battery. They are 12 volt and about 7 amp hours or 11 amp hours. do you know how many amps your light string draws in use?
@@rbljackson a normal group 24 deep cycle should run it quite a while. Get you a solar cell so it can keep the feeder running. I’ll be doing that this year.
Which wires do you connect from the leds to the extension cord? I couldn’t tell.
Back is Negative / White is positive.
Hello, is the flashlight overheating? Maybe an aluminum pipe?
No, it stays cool. LED technology .
Any suggestion for dock transformer that is safe for outdoors in a permanent setup?
I’ll see if I can find one.

I like the specs on this one
@@ScottBurnette Thank you!
Do these lights work if there is current?
There’s weight in it to keep it down, if the current is too much you can add some more weight
What do you do with the 2 remaining wires at the end?
There are only two wires and one goes thru a switch on the front of my boat that has +12 volts and the other goes to the negative terminal of the batteries in front of the boat. When I throw my cast net I turn the light off not to scare the bait away. Once I have the net back in I turn the light on. I need to make a video of this process..
Please do. I live on a sailboat and this would be very helpful
That 2 foot section of PVC will hold all of the 16 foot led strip?
I had to cut a little bit off. wrap them tight.
@@ScottBurnette ok, I'm going to hook a 110 to 12 volt up to it. Plan on carrying it down to the subdivisions slips. Plug it in and fish ,then take it back home when I leave
David Loftus let me know how it goes.
In description of LED’s, it clearly states indoor/outdoor, but DO NOT use under water.
Really..Never saw this. A lot of us have made lights with no issues . I’ll check that out.
Can you send a parts list of the pvc u used
If you mean the actual pipe...At our Homedepot you can buy 2' lengths of 1" PVC pipe.and 2 - 1" end caps. If you have any other questions let me know
@@ScottBurnette that's exactly what I bought and I'm going to make my 1st light it is going to be a white light to go on the front of our photoon to see our lines at night
Jason Story good deal! Let me know how it goes.
@@ScottBurnette I will and on the non power end you can just cut it off at the last cut line and it will be fine wont it?
Jason Story yes and I wrapped that end with electrical tape
are the leds waterproof to the point where they don't need to been encased?
Yes they are, you just need to be careful on which model of LED you buy.
Can you plug to generator
yes
Can I get the link to the lights

There's a whole parts list in the description if you need it.
Could just put them in a glass jar, run the wire out the top, done
Sure...But for in the boat I would hate to crack or break a glass jar. this version works well for me.
Scott people say it will attract. Crappie is that true
Yes, it will get the minnows around and all the gamefish will come up. Including Crappie. There is a guy in Arkansas with a great channel that shows you how to use it very well. Search for fish n stuff on UA-cam
@@ScottBurnette ok. Thanks alot
Why not just connect the wires with butt connectors?
Keith Jones you can use butt splices, I just rather use solder joints . I’ve had butt splices loosen up and moisture issues. I think they make some splices that have heat shrink on them for marine installs.
Scott Burnette that’s what I have and also go over the top of that with adhesive lined shrink tube.
Keith Jones I’ll try that on my next project
These are not cheap to make in the biden economy . I already had the 1 1/2 inch pipe that I will use along with the alligator clips and silicone . I had to purchase caps for the pipe plus 20 feet of lamp cord and a can of glue . Folks , thirty five bucks at Ace . Should be ten to fifteen bucks . Let's go brandon .
Is it bright enough
Yes, works great!
@@ScottBurnette ok thank you so much was going to get much more expensive version until I watched this video
Hey one more question it says ip65 are not water proof.
@@derekyates43 I purchased waterproof LED's and in my second video I added a clear shrink tube to it. Been using the same light for ~3 years now. Still working good.
