DIY Awning Lights for Overlanders!

This is a review video of the LED light project I installed on my Alucab 270 degree awning. This project was completed with a cost of only about $100 for five LED light strips. I hope you find it useful and please consider liking and subscribing to this channel.

NOTE: One year update, these lights are still working great and have been used in rain, wind and snow. So far so good!

[@robertalonzo5725]

Nice build. Gave me some good ideas

[@vickaiser]

Great video. I'm gonna try it.

[@Taiwan4x4]

Have been thinking of doing this.

[@fedewrangler]

Ottime info. Grazie.

[@spoteat71]

I understand you had to cut the light strips. How long was the light strip you did you use per arm?

[@flyfisher530]

Each arm had a different length. You cut the strips to whatever length you want but look for the marks on the strip where to cut. It’s pretty obvious. Thanks for watching!

[@roccodeleo4865]

Did you cut the lights? The link says the strips are 15 feet. Thanks again for this info.

[@flyfisher530]

Yes you cut them to the length you need! 👍

[@jenniferhills1398]

Did you use one package per arm? 5 sets of lights at 15ft each? Or did you cut the lights and continue the strips along the next arm.

[@flyfisher530]

One package per arm, thanks for watching! @@jenniferhills1398

Are thise led dimmable? What didn’t you get a dimmer? Thanks.

[@flyfisher530]

@@MrBetoybrenda Sorry just saw this comment. You can install a dimmer switch they are available on Amazon. I chose not to do that to keep it simple for me, but it would be fairly easy to install I think. Thanks for watching!

Great run through, Mike!
Been putting a parts list together for this last week, so time to tweak it a little!
