    I am looking for some lights to put under my stand. I have seen lights that take a 9v battery and just push on and off, but don't know where to find them. I would like to mount one one each side. Any of you have lights under your stands?

    im going to be adding lights under mine 4phish. theres some small strip led's that are bright and will work fine. also im going to be adding a pressure switch , so when opening the dorr, the lights come on. like a refridge.

    I would stay away from the battery operated ones. The salty air will corrode them almost immediately. How about a LED drop light from autozone or similar. They are cheap, run cool, provide lots of light, and are sealed to the elements.
