Our KZ came with the light strip already mounted and wired in the roll-up tube. This has both pros and cons.....l
Con....We usually sit under the awning with our backs to the TT. The lights on the tube when rolled out are like looking at headlights. You have to roll it further in or out to adjust this (see pro below). If they were on the TT they would be behind us.
Pro....With the power awning I can roll it out all the way and a little beyond so that the light strip points outward. This lights out beyond the awning. Or, I can roll the tube in a little and the lights reflect off the awning and no longer blind us.
Pro....nothing to take down as they are mounted and hard wired through the tube and arm to the tt.
It's nice, but we usually sit out in the dark, around a fire or just use the yellow light on the tt.
