The only catch is that they automatically turn off after 45- 60 minutes
to "save the batteries", so make sure you press the button off/on each time
you pull your hoops. The company is creating sticks that won't turn off
automatically, but they will be in stores in about 6 months.

You can find these on Sale at Home Depot for like 4 bucks.

I've been using these two seasons now, they work great! I was at Home Depot about two months ago and saw them on sale, 3pack for $2.99 so I picked up three packs. I opened one up yesterday, I'm looking for the timer so that I can remove it or bypass it, if I find it I'll let you guys know.

Promar just contacted me they said they will replace them with the new version. I have to dig through the trash and find my receipt

We’re working on a new-more reliable version of the LED sticks which should be available in the coming month. For those who have purchased a defective LED Light Stick we are offering the following options:

A direct swap out when the new light sticks come in (in approximately 4-6 weeks).
We will replace each LED light stick today with 3 regular 6” Chemical Glow Sticks.

I found my receipt

Yes, you need a proof of purchase. I bought the one with the Plastic housing for the batteries and a bulb on one end and nothing on the other but plastic.

hey frank,

i am a bit disappointed that you had not been a very good grasshopper learning from your master jorge. he has his pots setup and you did not learn from him? stop messing around with those promars and just get the l.e.d. sticks.
maybe you two should had more lessons on the setup rather than holder each others "kayaks" that first night.

Not sure which version I have, but I bought them at oex 1-2 years back and they have been problematic from day 1. I don't want to buy throw aways, but need something RELIABLE! 2 of 3 used last sat, worked at home, but not on the water.
