Noodles tent light

[reaper]

I bought this from Amazon for 20$ cad.Most of us always bring some kind of battery pack,i have a 8000 mAh monoprice storage battery,work great and i wanted to add some more utility from it not only for my phone.Since my Lucy Lantern melted on my tipi pole last winter yeah...really melted because the stove was hot like crazy and it was really cold outside,i was looking for a small and lightweight lighting source...in cold weather my micron primus lantern is so bad,the gas canisters doesnt like cold and i dont get enough light from it.
Few pictures of the noodle lights:

I think this thing will be nice in my tipi around the pole or all around the tipi using the inside loops.
Next,i will put them to serious testing in cold weather like every single piece of my gear.Ill see how many hours i get from it with the 8000mAh.

That looks pretty cool. Wish I had have seen that earlier.
I was also looking for some lighting for my wall tent. I went with 5v 5w USB led bulb s. Note I have to wait 3 months for shipping ha....

I also picked up some led string lights last year for camping. They are ultra light weight and run off two 2032 batteries. I just ordered another 2 pack a couple weeks ago. They're less than ten bucks in Amazon.

Yep, I didn't think they did, hence my question as I would have bought a liner as soon as you confirmed it was a cimmaron.

Thanks,

Big Agnes sells these in just lights called the Mountain Glow. I own a set. Can get them at REI yours are definitely more cost effective. I love taking them with me for Light in the Tipi.

I have the Luminoodles as well. I participated in both of their Kickstarter campaigns. The second one that just shipped out is even cooler as it does different colors, can be dimmed and even has a remote. Now, it's not something I'd probably pack in with me but for more of a base camp scenario, it is very handy. The biggest thing I didn't like about the version that you have is it doesn't have a switch of any kind. So, you can't turn it off while laying in your bag. You have to unplug it to turn it off. This also makes it a bit tricky to turn back on in the dark.

Agree with that colonel00,no switch wake it harder in the dark.It was a test to find a lighting solution,i am very happy how much light it give but not as long i was wishing with my battery pack.I will look for the one you are talking about.It is very lightweight,i will backpack with it for sure.

here is an on/off switch for those noodle lights

[bhylton]

these look like they would be great for field dressing and game processing if you have to do it in the dark. carry it in your pack and hang it in a tree above you or something

 

[mfllood3800]

colonel... is there a link to the new ones you mentioned?
My search on amazon produced only what is already out and seen on this thread?
Thx sir

After testing it with my Dark Energy Poseidon,i ordered the Mountain Glow...i know it work about 3hours(7pmto10pm) and it only lost 25%,i let it there and this morning at 7am the lights were off and the poseidon was flashing red(less than 10%)Sure i will not use the lights more than 2-3hours in the tipi but if you forget them it will drain the poseidon and youll not be able to charge anything.I was sure the Dark energy charger was up for the task.I prefer to use 3x AAA batteries and have 24h of lights for sure without using a charger.These noodle lights will be in the back of my TV in the living room LOL!!

Reviews on that mountain glo aren't the best I don't think, most say it is truly just a glow. I'm thinking about trying the new luci outdoors 2.0 and just leave it on the ground.

 

[rayporter]

i think the luci get a little charge through the fabric. it sure lasts a long time...

Well if it just a glow it sucks...
