LED strip lighting

Marceline · October 2021

I tapped into the 12v line that used to power the outside TV (I removed it) in order to install a red LED light strip under the top cabinets in the clamshell and a warm white LED strip inside the trailer where the cabinets meet the roof. The indirect lighting has been a huge improvement.

Thinking we may do something similar. Any links to products you used?

Any cuttable 12v LED strips would work. Here's what I used:
Red LED strip: https://amzn.to/2YQurRM
Warm White LED strip: https://amzn.to/3DEXGFM (I actually had leftover strip from an earlier project at home)

I suppose that you could use RGB strips, but I stuck with single-color strips as they're easier to connect.

Connectors & wire: https://amzn.to/2YJIXuH

Silicone channel (used to cover warm white strip inside): https://amzn.to/3AyEmIl

I'm not quite satisfied with the on/off switch inside, so I'm going to try this:

So smart to use red outside @Marceline. Easy on the night vision.

Yes, that's the idea.

Howdy, Stranger!
