If you’re looking for an alternative option when it comes to lights for your cornhole board, you might consider a set of LED Strips. These LED strips are attached to the border of your cornhole board and allow you to illuminate the board as a whole. Like the cornhole lanterns, these lights also come in a variety of different colors.

One of the cons to these lights is the way they are placed. Depending on what kind of cornhole board you have, your LED strips might not light up the board as bright as you want it to be.

The reason for this is you cannot place the lights on top of the board as they will interfere with game play. Due to this, these lights are often placed around the side of the board. A few sets also come with a smaller LED strip for your cornhole board’s hole as well.
