Here's a light comparison between the 612 & the 712. Both excellent lights. The new 712 gives a mushroom of light about 30' If you night fish at all, get yourself one of these Reel lites. Check them out at www.reel-lites.com [email protected]

For the money, service, and dependability, you can't go wrong with these lights. Not only that, but Bob #1 will treat you right, he's a fair and honest man.

Thanks everybody for the support, without the support the lights would not be where that are today,Quote:

And he sent two videos to prove it with the 102 led as a night light

Bob,
Nice looking product and using LEDs are the best option out there. I have a question: are the LEDs colored or is it just the acrylic tubing?
Tried to find colored bulbs and they are not affordable the price range is upwards of $25 plus which would make a light selling for $200 plus. Also they do not project the light as much as clear bulbs (NOT STRIP LIGHTS) actual bulbsThumbs UpQuote:

It is so hard, tried to run the car over it (OPPS) not that hardDohRofl
Anyway you get the idea:cool:
Thanks for the info there Bob. I have played around with LEDs in the past and you are right about the cost of the colored ones. I believe that they also do not normally have the same life span as the white ones either (not that a whole lot us old farts would out live one of your lights). I imagine you can get a more consistent color using the colored acrylic as I saw variations in color from the cheaper green and blue LEDs I used.
I have the plastic 612 and the acrylic 712 , there's a big difference between them, the 712 is smaller in diameter and much harder than the plastic. Anyone that buys a light like this should take care of it like a good rod & reel, but if you happen to step on the 712, I don't think it would hurt it any..
