Awning lighting
Am looking at options to provide 12v lighting under my awning and also possibly in the back of the 110. Have seen some flexible strip options which connect together by Ring and others. Would welcome others views on portable lighting options which are easy to hook up and robust

You can buy LED Strips Kits with everything you need for it to work from us. The led strip is actually adhesive so you could stick it to the mounting beam or anywhere you like in fact. £70inc for a 2m led strip.

We could also recommend the nebula light as shown here. They are fantastic lights that are IP67 rated, switched and durable.





For people on a larger budget (and those who like gadgets) we also offer the very high quality Biolite NanoGrid which can spread light over a vast area with a linkage of lights. It can also charge USB items such as phones, ipads, sat navs etc

Here is the NanoGrid






And they can be bought from here

Ooh like that. Is it just adhesive or is it fixed another way? Assume it will work off cigar lighter.

I have got a set of these fitted and to be honest the are so bright the hurt your eyes, they are great if you want scene lighting and are working around the vehicle but IMO they are too bright when facing the light under the awing.

As a result I got a pair of these http://www.mudstuff.co.uk/products/electri...e-s18.html they are not as bright but still produce more than enough 'awning' lighting Thumbs Up 130's have feeling's as well you know Smile

I fitted a mud stuff scene light for reversing but also for camping. Like AndrewS it's a bit too bright to sit around, so I added a led remote controller, so,I can switch on/off remotely and has a brightness 100-50-25% option .. Works a treat, I can switch on/off from anywhere about 15metres and makes wiring the light 4 soldered connections from the purple/black wires in the rear

Its just a high quality adhesive stick. Its powered by 12v and we supply it wired in and with a switch so they obviously can be turned on and off when you like.

I have one of the stick on strips and attached a merit plug to it.
I mounted it to the main awning bracket(under the rope rail) and the lead goes under the tie up straps inside the cover for traveling.
I've fitted a merit outlet that's mounted through the rear panel between the number plate and the number plate light.

Under instruction from the cook we also have a rear mounted LED light from MUD.
The switch is mounted under the number plate light extension housing.

Both of these lights work off our second battery Cheers,
Kyle.

We have the Ring Tent lights. http://m.gooutdoors.co.uk/ring-27-led-tent-light-kit-p195324

We have 1 inside the roof tent, and 2 stuck on the underside, which provide light 'downstairs', either with or without the annexed zipped on. You can connect several together so you only need 1 connection to your power supply, but still have separate switches. Our blog - http://landytravels.com/
