Hardkorr Tri Colour LED Awning Light Kit (3 Strips)

HardKorr's ultra-bright flexible LED light kit is the easiest way to illuminate the area under your 180° or 270° awning. It’s designed to be permanently mounted and can be folded away with your awning when it is stored, reducing the amount of time it takes to set up and pack down your campsite.

The kit will work with all common awnings, with the length of the incuded cables calibrated to minimise excess. The 1.5m power lead has a cig plug on the end to allow the kit to be powered from any 12v outlet on your vehicle.

Using the included tri-colour dimmer (exclusive to Hardkorr) you can create three distinct colours of light. The cool white setting provides maximum brightness, whereas the new warm white setting will still give you great brightness but with a more relaxed feel – perfect for later at night. Switching to the orange light reduces the presence of bugs by up to 90%, and is useful around food preparation and eating areas.

Constructed with heavy-duty double-sided tape from 3M, the flexible lights are easy to mount and promise long-lasting adhesion.

How does Orange Light Reduce Bugs

Some bugs, like mosquitos and moths, can’t help but move their body towards any light source they can see. This phenomenon is called positive phototaxis. Entomologists still don’t have a complete understanding of why this phenomenon exists, but it is clearly observable in nature.

Of course, bugs will only be attracted to light they can see, and there is a useful difference between the spectra of light which are visible to humans compared to bugs. Humans can generally see light which has a wavelength between 380nm (blue) and 740nm (red). Most bugs, conversely, can see light with a wavelength between 300nm and 600nm.

The wavelength of our orange LEDs is 610nm, putting them outside of the spectrum visible to must bugs, but still well inside the boundaries of human vision. As a result, most bugs will not congregate around our orange light because they simply don’t know it is there.
