    I sold my sled resort that I had otter lights on the bar above me and bar behind me. I ran them on 2 different switches so both or on row or the other could be on. Is this still the best route fore lighting. I bought a eskimo escape from a gentleman on here and now need to light it. I prefer something permanent and I’ll put in a battery tray. Any suggestions?

    Also I have a otter resort hub that I always just use a head lamp and a small portable battery operated shop light I dangle from a pole. Is this there a good option for a hub. Head lamps are more then efficient but I would also like something decent in there when I want it bright.

    got this for my hub. i got a Frabill Fortress and it does a nice job on high. i was able to run it for 3 hours without losing light…..not sure how long it goes yet? very happy with it. charge it at home and you should be good into the evening.

    I know you’re not big on clam but check out their hub light. It’s very popular with even non clam owners.

    Otherwise you could buy a couple sets of the otter lights. I’ve always liked mine in my flip over.

    A couple of options. This fan also has a light. Or the Bell & Howell tac lantern. Both are light and take up little space and do a decent job. Good luck.

    I now have the otter lights in my Lodge XOver and the clam hub light in my resort hub. Hub light is really nice but isn’t dimmable.

    My last flip over, I purchased led strip lights with a 3m backing from Amazon. Permanently mounted them on overhead poles and used zip ties for extra piece of mind. Wired everything to barrel connectors for battery hookup. Worked well and was cheap.

    X2 on the reenu light fan combo. Bought it this year from recommendation from IDO member and it has done a nice job so far.
