Mine also fell off the tube, then put a strip of clear packing tape over it and its been fine.

I placed the clear packaging tape over mine when I installed them. I suggested it in a much earlier post here. My buddy has had his taped to the awning tube for over 2 years! Mine are on the side of the TT, below the gutter. That way I can use them with the awning rolled in. A couple lights on one end have a steady purple color, no matter what the color is set at. But for $30, if I have to buy another set next year, I will.

Getting closer to camping time again, so I thought I would bring this thread back to life for all the new members.

I am considering putting on the led lights. With a power awning it seems easier than hanging some up and having to take down every time one rolls up the awning.

I have that very one on the awning roller tube.. it is rated indoor outdoor... I bought a second one that went on the inside of the slide out room and nicely lights my living-room. Got a 3rd one that is going to be mounted under the awning tube when rolled up ... and am thinking about 2 more for under the RV from the A frame back to the wheels. Since I rarely am in a campground I bypassed the the provided power supply bought some M5 plugs at radio shack and wired the lights directly to my 12 volt system.

We bought a second set to replace our with this year. First set failed after getting wet, assuming from wicking water that is in the awning. I am going to tape this set inplace with 3M packing tape along the entire length and seal the end with a little silicone where I cut it to length. Lights were great last year and set us apart from other RVs. We prefer to leave them on a slow fade from color to color. I hope this set will last all season, but if not I will replace them again. I am leaving them installed on the canopy roller, I dont think I could tape them in place as well on the side of the RV.

Ours did last all season, even at times when it got soaked with rain.
It will be interesting to see if it works again this year.....
Man Spring can't come soon enough as we are getting freezing rain and it's supposed to last all night! Last time this happened back in '09, many lost power for days!!!

Be careful....
I think you're a little farther north than us down here in E'ville? Guess you're getting more snow?

So I'm pretty convinced that I'm going to be ordering a set of these for my new TT. Question is I'm not sure I want to hard wire them into the TT yet. For those of you who havn't hard wire the lights, what have you done with the AC brick to keep it from getting yet?

Assuming you mean wet I have mine wrapped in a ziplock bag and tucked in the awning side bar. I've never had a problem.

Mine is installed on the TT below the awning. I bought an extension which I ran to the outside cover for the fridge. I just placed the transformer inside of there and ran the power cord to the outlet nearby.

I put mine about 2 inches under the awning, purchased a 10 foot extension cord from Amazon and keep the power supply in the front compartment, if I have the lights on the power supply does not get wet, just have to remember to turn the outside light on before I unhook it as it gets real dark fast
