Introducing the new ARB Awning & Light kits, an enhancement to the existing high-quality ARB awning range, we have now incorporated an LED light strip in the awning roof. Just like your home, good quality lighting is in the ceiling, not the walls therefore placing the light right where it's needed and not harshly in your eyes. The slim dimensions of the LED light strip simplifies pack up. The light can be rolled up with the awning roof after use and not removed, keeping everything together for your next adventure (make sure the joining cable hangs out about 10cm from the sleeve). The ARB awning light provides up to 1200 lumens with a choice of either cool white or amber colour mode and it is dimmable via a waterproof digital dimmer switch. Building a high performance light into the roof came with some challenges. One was making sure we could get the LED strip small enough as well as making sure we could keep them cool so they would not de-rate and dim prematurely. This has been achieved by using quality LED chips that can handle more heat than a standard strip light and also attaching the strip light to an aluminum track for heat dissipation, all sealed in a watertight resin. Colour feature: Amber mode provides low bug attractant qualities or to provide comfortable late night soft lighting when out camping or touring with current draw at 1 amp hour. The light is powered via a fused cigarette lighter plug, with an additional 4 meters of insulated water proof cable and connectors, so the Awning light kit can be mounted on either side of your vehicle. Included with the wiring is a handy storage bag to keep all your cables together when the light is not in use. The awning & light kit is supplied in two separate boxes, one will hold the awning light and cables, the other box will be the awning. Assembling the light in the awning is a simple job and is best done once the awning is mounted to the vehicle and has been set up in its erect state.
