LED Light Strip

About. 4 months ago, the LED strip under the awning (factory installed) dimmed. All the lights came on, but very dim. So, dealer replaced whole strip, which has worked fine until yesterday. Same problem - lights come on but very dim. A single switch controls the light strip. I guess it's back to the dealer while still under warranty.

I have not seen this gproblem addressed before.

for 100 bucks, I would be on Amazon buying strip lights. I bet that will be no different. Probably all made in China

Yep I saw those racerjoe the price of them is all over from 30 to 130 bucks which ones are ya going to trust??? at least the ones from Superbrightled are an American Company with Great reviews from people using them on Boats etc.. so you would think they are really waterproof and durable

Thanks for the link, guess it's another thing that will need an upgrade sooner rather than later.

UPDATE: dealer says LED strip is made by Dometic, and they have had so much trouble with them they have been discontinued. So, waiting to see what they will do since they were installed at the factory.
