Finally LED awning lights

After many, many months of procrastination, this weekend was the first opportunity to use the LED lights that have been on the needed mod list for many months. Decided to mount with the use of velcro on the awning tube to prevent any potential problems with mounting on the rig itself. Allows for quick retraction with the awning itself after disconnection the wire at the end of the awning tube. Plan to use velcro on the awning support frame to allow the ac/dc adaptor to hang on the side of the rig above the outlet. I also plan to fabricate a hanging system that will allow the lights to be used when the awning is retracted. It will be velcro on a foldable frame that will allow for storage in the basement and will hang from the sides of the awning supports. I have to admit that both DW and I really like the ease of use, love the color options as well. Per forum suggestions, we went with the Superbrite SMD5050 LED's from Amazon. Sorry for the picture quality from my iPhone:
