LED Strip Lights Easy DIY for Camper Conversions

Easy inexpensive LED strip lighting ideas for your cargo trailer conversion, camper conversion, van, rv or even inside your home. I will show what I have done in my cargo trailer conversion as well as take you inside my home and show you how I use them there. Dim theas down and they use very little power.

This has to be one of my most favorite subjects.   I love LED lighting and the fact that it is low on energy usage, last a long time and can run on 12 volts.

It is nice to have a few lighting options when you do your cargo trailer or van conversion.  I think number one you should have bright LED lights.  This way if you need to see something or look for something you can light up the situation.   We used 3 watt ceiling puck lights, superbright and easy to install with a 56mm hole saw they clip right in.

Next you need accent lighting, low key.  This is what we use 99% of the time.  There are a few LED strip lights that work great for this.  We like the fact that you can dim them down for lower energy use with still plenty of light.   And also that you can change the colors for mood and less bugs.

The best are the ones that have a white options for normal bright lighting situations, and then some soft colors for mood lighting.If you get them with a 110v plug adapter, you can cut that off and wire direct to a 10 amp fuse and then to the battery.

I like to put them on a hard wire switch.  We used rocker switches that pop right into a 3/4 inch drilled hole.  The switches also light up.    These are fantastic and easy to use, plus the price it right.

If you do not want to hard wire to a switch you can just use the remote.  Just make sure you position the infrared transmitter where you can point too!  We also recommend Velcro the remote to the wall.

Also check out the Copper Wire LED 33 -99 feet.  Cheap and weather proof.  They are bright with a warm glow and dim nicely.  I bought one and when I got it, turned around and ordered more.

Inside our bricks and sticks house we use LED puck lighting for under counter and cabenet lighting plugged into 110v plugs.

We also use a power remote to mix lights together and have an easy solution to turn on/off  three mixed sets with one set of switches.

It is important to get these with two plugs on the plug-in transmiter.  This brand is water proof too.  Great for turning on Christmas lights inside or outside at the holidays.  We have a few of these and the bateries last two years at least.

We also like the LED Bulbs that change colors and dim down.  Check out the video above.  We use these in hanging pendant type lights.

These led bulbs are dimmable with remote.  Do not put on a wall dimmer because it will ruin them.
