I have LED lights on the outside of the awning like yours. Mine seem to bee sealed in the gel like strip they do seem to get moist but not flooded. over two years two or three have gone out but i think it is just cheap China LED lights. When a few more go out I will just replace with new set from Amazon $14.00 a strip and be done.

I bought my strip on amazon, they lasted two trips. They were the ones with about 40 different ways to run, the Grand kids loved them. On the way home from the 2nd 30 mile trip the glue on the back of the strip half of it came off and broke off. And yes I cleaned the area before install. You get what you pay for. I like the lantern Idea. I like the lantern Idea. It's one of the few things still used in the camping days before I bought my first RV 25 years ago.

All I've ever used in 30 odd years of camping. I finally broke down and bought a new Coleman dual fuel 2 mantle, my old one was getting pretty ratty after 30 years. I run an amber globe, keeps the bugs down and I've always liked the soft hiss of a pressure lantern.

While all my outside lamps are LED, I find the 'glow' of LED's to be cold and uninviting. Fine for marker lights and tail lamps but for under the canopy sitting out, no way. Just my opinion, yours may vary.
