    Good morning all!
    I’m looking to mount some led strips to the interior ceiling of my camper shell.
    I’m looking for strips that can change color (so I can have red/amber when camping at night and not be blind, and bright white when I’m looking inside my shell) and I want to hook it to my battery (I’ve wired lights and know how).
    Any recommendations on specific led strips? I’m trying to do this relatively cheaply so if you know of a sturdy/decent one off Amazon or something, let me know please!
    Thanks in advance!

    Maxxima led strips are the best quality I have found so far. Sealed very well and are stupid bright. I have only used their white version for my truck and shell but I am sure if they make an RGB version it will be good quality as well. Installed some cheap Amazon led strips in a friends shell and they are already yellowing after a year or so.

    I just used four Bluetooth rock lights from Amazon. They work great.

    Very clean!

    I'm gonna be adding led bed lights sometime soon. What brand of relays did you use?
