[Luis Merlo]

Anyone else running led lighting strips ?...I know a few of the local guys do...I just ordered a 1.3 mt strip flexible LED strip should be plenty long for the awning on the jellybean....keep you posted !

I'm not using led strip but I have my eyes on some special Led lights. The company is called Lazer Lamps. their website is lazerlamps.com it's defiantly worth checking out in my opinion. I recently bought a pair of Lazer ST4 to replace 2 Wipac Spotlights. WOW what a huge improvement! I must admit the lamps are quite pricey but the quality and performance is awesome. I am currently trying to decide what lights I want to put on my roofline. I'm torn between having two Lazer Triple R 1000 Elite 2 or a Triple R 28.

Interesting, I'm using the Luminoodle system from power practical.

Very happy with it. They did lots of R&D to make sure it could handle some beating up.

Just to bang on a bit more about Lazer Lamps, they sell something similar to yours called a T2. I am toying with the idea of mounting 1 or 2 on the back of my roofrack as worklights. I haven't decided whether to piggy back my reverse light wiring or to have them independently switched.

I does help with reversing out of my garage...dark mornings...and camp set up...I grounded the black and tapped into the reverse light feed wire...only active when I engage..works well !...cheers

I bought a set of stick on daylight running strips that you put on your headlights "Audi" style from an autostore wired them in to the interior lights one on each side in the cargo area work great.

For exterior lights I have 2 rear LED flood lights on the roof rack wired in a 3 position switch on the dash. Off, auto with reverse lights and always on. I found that when wired into the reverse lights it was to much if you are in town as it blinds everyone around.


The other toggle switch wires the front lights off, 2 x flood and all lights 2 x flood and light bar.

Hey here's a question for you. How do you get the wiring from your work lights inside your vehicle? Did you drill a hole or pass cables through a door seal? I'm trying to figure out the best way to get cables into my vehicle.

Both for me the front lights I drilled through the roof protected the wire with a grommet and also RTV and the rear went through the door seal but mine is a hatch so it goes through the top. Neither have leaked in over a year.

I bought a 30ft roll of waterproof ones of eBay for pretty cheap, you just cut and wires the ends up. I put a strip under the each bedrail and it lights up the whole bed and platform. One thing i cant find is a reliable RF dimmer to go inline with it. I would like to put some on the camper shell back window so when you open it, it can light up the campsite.

The ground went to one of the roof rail nuts on a ring connector, the live wire was also tucked under the roof rail cover and only pokes out a short distance to the rear door, using some small diamater corrugated wire shield....

I bought some off eBay for like 10 bucks and put it under the hatch for better lighting at night while rummaging through gear.

Has anybody added lighting to the inside of your lift gate? I'm thinking of adding something battery powered so I have a lighting option when the lift gate is open but many product reviews I read are not that great. Has anyone tried this and found something they like?
