I recall having a similar problem with the promar lights, I could be wrong but I believe it was corrosion inside the battery housing on the contacts that was the issue. I haven't had that issue with the Trident lights but much like all waterproof products you may still get corrosion within the housing. I believe this will be my 3rd or 4th season with the Trident lights and so far I'm pretty happy with them.

They are made of hard plastic material that almost looks like glass, I keep them in a tube that has a foam insert

Wait? Is that container for storage of the lights or do you use all 5 of them at a time for each hoopnet?

Wait? Is that a serious question?

Yes, I'm asking a serious question. I usually use one led light stick and the case in the picture didn't look like it was waterproof. But it looks like it's your hoop light. I like the sponge idea too.

LOL well i was going to say myself, @ those rates, that's $25 - $30 in Light sticks there for one Buoy!
But you did state they have lasted several seasons so that pays in the long run over glow sticks depending on the illumination comparison
