Default Tip up lights, where to get them?

I went to wholesale sports yesterday, and found everything on my list save one: those lights that fit on a thermal tip up flag. A sales associate told me they didn't sell them separately, only in a tip up starter kit.

Can anybody tell me where to get them?

the absoulute best tip up lights in my opinion are the ones made by THILL. they call them "battery replacements" for some reason and they work great. i tape one to the tip of my rod with scotch tape and it does not interfere with line and they last a long time. i'm still using the same one since summer. they are very small and very bright, and you can turn them off when not fishing.

Basspro has the Frabill and HT lights when I was there a few days ago. About $12 each. Not worth it IMO. Wait for the next sale on the thermal pro tip ups and they're usually a kit with the line, depth finder, 2 mini floats, and the tipup light for around $24 from $32.
