  • I added an LED reading light in my slide out so I had the same problem of making a neat installation. I used a cord cover stuck to the wall. You can get it at any building products store such as Lowe's. It generally comes in a neutral ivory cover which might work for you. Otherwise you can paint it any color you want. It has a peal and stick backing so attachment is a snap. To get power to my light I taped into an enclosed adjacent cabinet that houses my water pump and converter. I found an unused output from the converter and wired it to a female "cigarette lighter" socket. I attached a male plug to the light. Now I can plug in the light when needed and disconnect it when I retract the slide.

    Wherever you want to install your strip light, you can probably find 12 volts nearby and tap into it. Then cover the wire with a cord cover.
  • Interested in the examples too. The hangup I've run into is making the power tap look nice, taking it from a light fixture or wall switch for example.
  • Think carefully about what type of light you will enjoy and brightness. I'm a warm white fan and I don't always want the interior lit like a sound stage...."there's no business like..."
