Revainrating 5 out of 5

Just what I wanted in lights and lighting accessories

Edit: I bought a set of 2 LED strips to mount in a van body on the back of a pickup truck (dome lights). They are SUPER BRIGHT! A headlight would be more than enough for a pickup truck with an overhead RV bed. I wish I had saved money and just bought one strip, but I'm still very happy with it. They're new so let's see how long they last. These headlights were very easy to install. I am a woman and have never lit a pickup bed but this was very easy for my teenage son and myself. With a camper set up on the bed of a pickup truck, it's hard to see anything without additional lighting. This two strip set is very bright and works great. The extension cord that came with the kit is very thin and not very long (only about two meters I think). It would probably work if everything in the bed was under the camper's body and connected to other lights already in the body or bed. But my truck didn't have any other lights installed, so we had to drive it under the truck and connect it directly to the battery. I bought a coil of wire for this. This kit also includes a fuse in the fuse holder already installed in the circuit breaker wiring. From there, an extension cord runs to the battery or power source. We used 14 ga wire. It may be harder than it needs to be, but it works. It is not difficult to install lamps. The adhesive on the back of the lights is strong but we also used the included brackets to securely attach them to the camper body. I bought another set of three exactly the same lights that we are going to fit into an enclosed cargo trailer, using a separate battery in the trailer. These lights work great and are great value. They appear to be well made and durable. I thought a set from another company would sell for about $10, but they looked so flimsy - little more than a strip of duct tape with tiny LED bulbs attached. I am happy with the purchase.
