Found a workaround to the PVC Body while out shopping with the significant other - a sealed glass container at the Container Store on sale for $1.99. Bought the container, made another LED Circuit Assembly, and popped it into the container. It worked! May use this workaround going forward!

Still like the sealed container workaround but... here is the third article in a series of four about "Making a Simple Green LED Fishing Light - Part 3 Final Assembly"

Question from a Reader on how long the 9 volt battery will last in the light. So far, this one has been on for over 54 hours.... and still counting! This one uses the same circuit as designed in our article - Making a Simple Green LED Fishing Light - Part 1 LED Circuit. The difference is a Sealed Glass Container is used instead of a PVC Body!

When weather warms up, plan to set the light out with the Water Wolf Camera. Will see what the light attracts. For now, here is a recent video of the light...

I have used most brand/types of green lights, including the monster green lights...anymore, I use the LED strip lights down both sides of my boat..you can get the leds in three different intensities, just get the good ones and you will like them...they take a bit longer to attract Shad IMO, but I no longer have to lug an extra battery or the monster around inside my boat, so I am happy just using them most all the time. One exception, when Shad must be pulled from long distances 1/2 mile, I will throw in the green monster and extra battery...hope this info helps...
