RV Awning Lights, 12V 16.4FT Blue Camping Awning Lights, Motorhome Travel Trailer Food Trucks Van Waterproof Canopy Led Strip Lighting, RV Exterior Underglow Light

I bought these for a new motorized awning I installed. It turns out that with the 3M VHB adhesive stirp on the back, they were too thick to slide into the channel of my awning, but that's on me. I removed the VHB and they slid in very nicely. The IP68 encapsulation seems very robust too, and I don't doubt that they would withstand any weather just fine. However, I used 22-gauge wire to connect them, figuring that would be adequate, and fused it for 3 amps. (I'm an electrical engineer, and have built several LED lighting systems in the past.) After a few minutes, the fuse blew, so I started poking around. I cut about 18 inches off the end that was surplus for my rig, and connected that directly to a 12-volt power supply. That little strip drew nearly a full amp at 12.8 volts, and ran very warm to the touch. When trying to diagnose my blown fuse, I discovered that the switch I was using was faulty, causing nearly a dead short across the incoming power. Once that was replaced, the current draw fell to around 3.5 amps - rather high, but within the bounds of reason. That's around 45 watts at the nominal operating voltage of 13.5 volts, and is no doubt why the strip is so bright. It's also probably why some users have reported high temperatures. And make no mistake - the strip is *bright*! I could probably perform surgery under the awning if necessary, and the bright white color temperature (unspecified, but I'd guess around 5000K) makes it almost too brilliant for relaxing in the evenings. I may replace the strip with a warmer white version for that reason, but that's not actually a fault in the strip itself. In summary, the strip appears to be good quality, puts out plenty of bright white light, and uses a fair amount of power doing so.

Very good product , easy to install . Very bright !

Easy to put up. We had to replace our RV lights and this was a good choice. We had to cut the adapter from our old light but it wired right up to these without issues. The blue tone is great although it is very blue.

I have the blue strand of lights. They are bright and provide a nice ambience. Mine have been in use for one month. All LEDs work but at the ends of the strip, where not protected from UV by the awning, the clear rubber overcoating is already beginning to turn yellow. So far, the yellowing has not affected the color of the light. In the literal sense, installation was easy.... clean off the trailer surface, peel the adhesive, stick on. However, remember, the LEDs require power and you do have to plan that all out. That's where 90% the install time and effort are spent. Some don't seem to realize that. I tapped into a 12V source in my trailer's wiring, mounted a new switch on the wall, installed a covered, waterproof junction on the outside of the trailer, and connected the lights there. Because others have complained that the 3M adhesive strip didn't stick well, I also added mechanical retainers every 2' of LED strip length. So far so good but it's been only one month. I'll be watching the yellowing of the clear rubber overcoating to see how or if it ever worsens sufficiently to affect light output.

These lights are bright white and really light the trailer up nicely for those dark camping nights. My husband installed them easily and honestly look like they were professionally done. I like them way better than the ones that came with the trailer and fell apart.

Replaced our old, worn lights.

I missed the return window by 4 days unfortunately. Didn't even last a month. Initial installation was a breeze, I was able to install it on a pre-existing channel for my previous lights which lasted 4 years. The channel is protected against rain and sun by my awning. I trimmed the excess as instructed and protected both ends with silicon. I even went as far as soldering the electrical connection and using heat shrink to cover against moisture and rust. However not even 1 month later a large section of the lights are burning out, and I mean BURNING. none of the other LED's are hot to the touch, they are warm but not hot. However all of the burnt out ones, although not producing light, are SCORCHING! To the touch. Look at the pictures and you'll see the clear protective plastic turning black from the heat. I would have kept this product if some lights had gone out. I mean for the price, that would have been fine. But BURNING out to the point where I had to pull my hand away. This is a fire hazard. Since I missed the return window and there's no support page, I'll simply have to buy another brand and spend the weekend taking this apart. What a shame.

Bright! Easy install! Still working same as day one!

Used for RV under awning in front of entrance

Perfect and easy installation but not extra bright

The Tape that comes with these lights to install it is absolutely useless. There is no stick to it whatsoever. The little clamps to install works great. I had to buy 3 M tape. They are easy to connect for power and do look great. How long they'll last is hard to say.

belle couleur mais un peu decu car pas recu de fillages de ralonge et de petit 3M pour bien fixer
