12v LED Camping Light Strip

Go to Jaycar.
They have a selection. One in particular is 1mt. long waterproof and has a peel off sticky back. May need the attached connector removed and replaced to suit your requirements. I stuck mine to an aluminium strip in turn popped onto a roof bow in the camper. Exceeded my expectations.

The two colour strips are a waste of space. led lights run at a different frequency and have little attraction for bugs, so you might as well use each space for a led on the strip for a white light.

We've picked up some gear from them and they seem reasonable quality and price.

I bought mine from the ExplorOz shop a couple of years ago and would have recommended ibuying it from the Shop, but I have noticed it's no longer showing as an available item.
`
It has a two mode selection, orange or white (or both).
It is called a Duo 90 Flex Lens by 4x4 Equip and has 40 x white and 40 x yellow LED's.
You can switch between yellow or white LED's.
I have one mounted on the internal frame of my camper and works very well.

4x4 Equip lists them for $99.95 but I don't think I paid that from the ExplorOz shop.

Twin Duo 90 Flex Lens

Try JGM Direct. I have had a look at their website and they appear to have some good gear at a decent price.

Having just re-read your exact requirements, have you considered the EvaKool Torpedo 12v LED Camping Light.
Very compact, puts out an equivalent to a 100 watt bulb and very economical to run.
At 129.00 it is cheaper than the Versa-lite LED or the Twin Duo 90 Flex lights.

One point to remember is that white lights attract insects, although the LED's not so much.
Over the years I have gathered a Versa-lite 12v fluro to which I added a yellow diffusion screen, a Versa-lite LED, an EvaKool Torpedo and the Twin Duo 90 Flex Lens strip light.

I use the yellow Versa-lite near the cooking end of my annex, the Versa-lite white LED (or the Torpedo) at the other end and the strip light inside the camper.
There is nothing wrong with the Torpedo, I just had to have a Versa-lite LED to compare with my Versa-lite Fluro. All are great lights.

I got the $15 for 5m delivered off Ebay. I also got a pack of 10 splice connectors for $5 so I can cut the strip to the lengths I needed, 2 LED's being the minimum length. For that price I couldn't go wrong.

They arrived within 2 days and are super bright, i unrolled then in a dark shed, held the bare wires onto a battery, then stumbled around trying to find the light switch with spots before my eyes.

My only complaint is that the adhesive backing stays stuck to what you stuck it to and not the light strip. That was fixed easily enough with some metho and automotive double sided tape.

" I'm not interested in the ultra cheap ebay specials."

It wouldn't surprise me if they all came from the same factory in China. I suspect the more expensive options are just packaged by an importer.

I have purchased a few 5m reels for around $9 Like this one. Both water proof and not. They work perfectly well and seem quite "decent" to me. I have had no trouble soldering directly to the copper pads on the strips. I made an illuminated dune flag out of a 3.6 m fibreglass fishing rod with a dayglo flag at the top, and sections of white, red and white LEDs below the flag. It takes visibility to a ridiculous extreme.

try aldi they have a set in a case with 3 led strips and dimmers and all the wiring you need for about $150 not a bad set al set up ready to plug and play

snip "Must be weather proof"

One of our purchases was a 1m strip for about $20 from a boat shop. Can't beat the 'waterproofness' of those designed to be used on boats :D

On the subject of LEDs and bugs... the 1m bright white strip did attract hordes of bugs on a particular night, but none the night after that at a different location. Conditions and lights combined are the key methinks :)
