Awning Strip Lights

Has anyone replaced the OEM with a warmer light? Wife doesn’t like as is.

Want to still keep them dimmable and would like very warm yellow to orange.

Thanks!

Sorry can’t help you there but yes the patio lighting and awning lights must be 4000+.

That cool color works “ok” for entry / ground but is wicked bright for all else. To cheat I open awaning two feet out and dim awning til lowest it casts a glow and reflects back off to provide patio lighting.

Another option…

Thiss, there’s one option that doesn’t require replacing the lights.

People are using gel filters to change the color. I’m not sure if you can get the film on a roll but you could buy a sheet and play with it. Perhaps a thin strip of Lexan with the film behind it could be mounted on the awning lights.

Here’s a post of someone using the gel film inside their trailer on the puck lights.

Good suggestion for the gel filters for interior. but these are LED light bars that are mounted on the awning on the extension of the awning and underneath the vehicle so I don’t know if he’ll is something that would keep

OP made me think of an interesting addition to have this lighting also be on the road side of the rig to give low light 360 illumination when parked or trying to maneuver in somewhere with out disturbing others.

We used the gels on some of the interior puck lights.

Still need something for the bedside reading lights.

Going to use the gels on the step light

I found strips, just need to be cut. Probably should work.

I put this warm white side-emitting strip light on my 2019 Sport:

Superbright #STW-AS30K80-E3D-05C5M-12V-2MPT

When I last checked, that specific light was discontinued, but other versions are available

Description: 5m White LED Side Emitting Strip Light - 12V - IP65 - Warm White 3000K - 196.9in (16.40ft)

https://www.superbrightleds.com/

Came in 16.4 ft stock length which I cut to 13 ft to fit between awning rafter arms 13 ft at 91ma/ft = 1.2 amps, (1.5 amps for 16.4 ft); was able to use the leftover piece in another application.

I believe the OEM version is #RSLL1230-LLWL warm white watertight side emitting strip from https://www.itc-rv.com
