LED Light Strip - 3528 or 5050 LED's?
I am getting a 12V LED light strip to install to the side of the camper under the awning. I am not interested in the controllers, remotes, multi-colors, etc..., I just want a 12V white LED strip that...

Even the 3528s put out alot of light in the 16.4' strip. That's what I used, and it's more light than I could hope for. I think that 16.4' of 5050 LEDs will actually be too bright for your awning area, although you could cut it down as has been suggested (or add a dimmer).
While I used the 5050 type in the panels in my individual ceiling fixtures, I used the 3528 type for the 16.4' strips (300 on my awning, 600 inside), pics here , and they are more than bright enough. Next time out, I'll try to get pics of the awning as well. I'm actually considering a dimmer for it, because even the 3528s put out alot of light when you have 300 of them!
I prefer the bright white (5500K-6000K), but many prefer the warm white (3500K). I don't think I've heard anyone who likes the cool (6500K+).
