Re: installing those LED strip lights under the awning

So much stuff to get out and put away before leaving. . .

Sure it is easy to get the power. I installed a couple of cigarette lighter receptacles in handy places in the basement storage. You can buy a 2 cigarette lighter receptacle at Radio Shack (hurry before they close to many branch offices) for about $12. Then wire those to #12 wire coming from the battery or another 12 volt source with a 20 amp fuse someplace.

Then you can run a 12 volt plug from the LED's to the cigarette lighter receptacle. You could use small wire for this, as the LED load should not be more than 1-2 amps.

Good luck!

Fred.
