    Who sells this stuff? Want to wire up the fish house today without online ordering. Noone seems to sell just the LED strips. Radco has some but comes all wired and everything, custom auto shops everything is fancy.

    Any help or ideas appreciated.

    There is a guy on criagslist that does big wheels with custom lighting. Not sure who else, but I would order online. I just order 16ft of RGB for $16.00 you can get regular stuff for like 7-9 bucks.

    I’ve got some stick on thin strips that you solder leads to. If you’re in the Rosemount-Eagan area, let me know. You can have some for Free.99.

    If you have Amazon Prime and are in the “Prime Now” region you can have them to your doorstep in an hour without driving in circles.

    Menards has the tape style Nick, pretty nice to work with.

    Went to fleet after more phone calls with nada

    Found some clearance items worth experimenting with. Pics to come.

    Thanks for all the leads and offers. Might look at those Menards ones if these don’t work out

    Found 16′ in silicone case outdoor xmas led rope at Fleet clearance $11 or something. This particular if you looked in the package was 12v dc, score!

    Now to wire it up, switches placed, and figure out where my red lighting is gonna go idea

    Again, thanks for all the offers, hoping these work for long term. Need a durable set for the EVO1, being half hub it requires a lot of folding up and stowing then unfolding etc. Figured something along a rope or encased strip was the way to go.

    You should put a dimmer switch on it, my buddy did that and it’s pretty slick.

    If anyone else is looking, The Big Marine Lake Store east of Hugo has LED strip light kits of various lengths.

    Worked out pretty well. Switch is in place for red stripping if so needed. Think bc half the lights are shining up, and other shining down there’s no weird shadows. Plus the front of hub is really well lit for only having one strip across top one side and the bottom. Not a big fan of huge lights blaring down holes.

    Either way not bad for $12 plus a $4 switch.

    My failed idea was getting some led trailer lights for just the front of hub. Got one to test out and not enough light, two might work but it has more of a flashlight look than a nice glow. The stripping will be the way if needed.

    I was thinking you were talking about the LED tape strips, the ones with adhesive on the back, not rope lighting.

    These are the strips, just in a silicone casing. Exposed strips to the elements seem scary, but no experience with that.
