About LED Lighting Kits

A kit is not really about installation being easy. It is about the decisions already being made.

Buy a light bar on its own and you have four more things to get right before it works. The harness has to carry the current the light draws. The switch has to be rated for it and reachable from where you actually are. The fuse has to protect the cable rather than the light. And the connectors on both ends have to match what you already run. Get any of those wrong and the light either does not work, works until it does not, or works fine while quietly heating up a cable that was never sized for it.

A kit takes those four decisions off the table. The lights, the cable, the switch and the fittings arrive matched to each other, which is worth more than the wiring being simple.

The kits here cover the common setups. Strip lighting that can be cut to length and stuck under a shelf, a rail or a drawer front. Light bar kits for a canopy or an awning, some with colour temperature switching so the same fitting handles cooking and sitting. Portable camp light kits that pack away and move with you rather than living on the vehicle.

The one thing a kit cannot decide for you is where the lights go and how far the cable needs to reach. Measure the run before you order, because a kit that lands 400mm short is still a trip to the shops.

Everything else is already sorted.

FAQs

LED Lighting Kits FAQs

What types of LED camp lighting kits are available?

We provide several types of LED camp lighting kits designed to simplify your campsite illumination. Our range includes flexible stick on LED strips for tight spaces, rigid light bars for maximum brightness, and specialized LED awning light kits that transform the area beside your rig into a functional living space.

Most kits offer tri colour functionality, allowing you to cycle between crisp white for tasks and a bug deterring orange glow for the evening. These pre packaged solutions include the necessary cabling and connectors to achieve a professional finish without complex wiring diagrams. You can select portable kits for flexible setups or choose permanent models for canopy drawers and campervan interiors. Browse our LED lighting accessories to find compatible dimmers, or explore our 12V switch panels to centralise your campsite controls.

What size LED camp light kits are available for my setup?

LED camp light kits are available in several configurations to suit different vehicle layouts and coverage needs. Rigid bar kits typically use standard 50cm or 100cm lengths, available as single units or in sets of two, four, or six. This modular approach allows you to scale the brightness based on the size of your canopy or awning.

Flexible strip lighting kits provide another option for custom builds because the material can be cut to fit specific dimensions. These are ideal for illuminating tight areas like toolboxes or internal cabinets where a rigid bar is not practical. Selecting the right size involves measuring your mounting surface and determining how many independent light sources are needed to keep your basecamp visible after dark.

Are LED lighting kits plug-and-play, or do I need an auto-electrician?

Most 12V LED lighting kits are designed with plug and play simplicity, allowing you to complete the installation yourself without needing an auto electrician. These systems use standard, secure connectors that let you join the light bars, switches, and cabling together by hand.

Because these kits typically draw power from a standard 12V socket or Anderson plug, you can avoid cutting into your vehicle factory wiring. This makes them a practical choice for temporary campsite setups or DIY canopy fit outs. If you require more reach or want to customize your layout, you can use specialized LED lighting leads and high quality LED lighting connectors to maintain a safe and stable connection throughout your rig.

What is the benefit of using tri-colour LED lights for camping?

Tri colour LED lights allow you to adjust the light spectrum to suit different campsite activities and environmental conditions. The primary benefit is the ability to switch to an orange or amber mode, which is significantly less attractive to insects compared to standard cool white light. This feature reduces the number of moths and mosquitoes swarming around your cooking or seating area, making your evenings much more comfortable.

These lights also provide the flexibility to change the atmosphere of your basecamp. You can use the cool white setting for high visibility tasks such as preparing dinner or performing field repairs, then switch to a warm white or amber glow to create a more relaxed environment before bed. This multi functional approach removes the need to carry separate lighting units for different tasks, providing a practical and streamlined solution for off grid travel.

Why should I choose flexible LED strip lighting for my canopy or camper?

Flexible LED strip lighting is a practical choice because it provides bright, even illumination without occupying valuable headroom or storage space. Unlike rigid bars, these strips can follow the contours of your vehicle, making them ideal for mounting inside a shallow canopy lid, along the frame of a camper trailer, or tucked inside storage drawers.

This low profile design helps prevent you from snagging the lights while you are moving gear or sleeping in tight quarters. The backing typically features high strength adhesive, allowing you to stick the strips directly to smooth metal or plastic surfaces for a quick and clean installation. Because they can often be cut to a specific length, you get a tailored lighting solution that fits your exact layout. To further improve your setup, you can add LED lighting accessories such as dimmers to control the brightness, or use LED lighting leads to reach further power points in your rig.

Can I install an LED light kit permanently under my vehicle's awning?

Yes, many LED lighting kits are designed specifically for permanent mounting under an awning or along a roof rack. Using specialized LED Awning Light Kits allows you to have high output illumination ready to go as soon as you deploy your shelter. For a clean installation, you should route the cabling along the structural arms and use secure clips to prevent the wires from being pinched when the awning is retracted.

Selecting a kit with a high IP rating is critical for permanent external use to protect the LEDs from moisture and red dust. Flexible strip lights with strong adhesive backing are a popular choice for this application because they follow the frame and do not interfere with the closing mechanism. To manage your campsite atmosphere, browse our range of LED Awning Light Kits or explore our LED Lighting Accessories to find the dimmers and wireless switches needed for your build.

Do 12V LED light kits use a lot of power from my battery?

No, 12V LED light kits are engineered for high efficiency and draw very little current compared to other campsite gear. Most individual light bars or flexible strips in these kits consume between 0.5 and 1.5 amps per hour. This low draw allows you to illuminate your entire basecamp for several hours with minimal impact on your total energy storage, making them far superior to older lighting styles.

Because the power consumption is so low, you can run a complete setup throughout the evening without the anxiety of a flat battery. To maintain your power levels for all your accessories, you should utilize high capacity 12V deep cycle batteries as your main storage. Adding one of our battery monitors is a practical way to see the real time impact of your lighting on your system.
