LED Lighting under awning

MB Flatlander, thanks for the last post. It has made me do alot of research. Since I only plan on using the lights with the awing extended, I am thinking of putting the strip on the underside of the metal shroud that holds my awning to the MH. I can put them there and there will be little pressure on the LED's when the awning is rolled up. Also the distance from the plug in to my power source will be less. I will not be able to use them when the awning is rolled up, but I very seldom sit outside if I cannot sit under the awning. I also have a 12 volt power source close to the end of the awning, so I may be able to tie there and eliminate the A/C adapter.
