The Kings 4M LED Camping Strip Light is a great solution for lighting up camp. It’s a 4 metre strip of 240 white LEDs that’s long enough to run along an awning and very flexible, and it comes with little hook-and-loop straps to fix it to poles. We used them to strap it to the poles of our awning. A dimmer knob takes it from low to high. I paid $30 for it.
What’s in the box
A 4 metre LED strip on a spool, with 240 LEDs under a protective plastic coating, a 3 m 12V power cord with a dimmer switch, eight hook-and-loop straps and a carry bag to keep it all together.

Strapping it to the awning
This is where it shines. The strip is long enough to run right along an awning and flexible enough to follow the frame, and the little hook-and-loop straps wrap around a pole or an arm in seconds. We strapped it along the poles of our awning. You can also leave part of it wound on the spool if you don’t need the full 4 metres.
Light and the dimmer
At night it lights up the camp space quite well, from the table under the awning to the back of the car. The only downside is the colour: it’s bright white light only, which we don’t really prefer for sitting around camp. The dimmer helps a lot. It’s a little knob on the cord that you turn from low to high, so you can keep it soft or turn it right up.
4 m strip or the 1.3 m strip?Strip comparison
We also use the shorter Adventure Kings Awning LED Strip Light. This 4 m strip is the long, flexible one you wrap along the awning poles, with a dimmer knob; the 1.3 m strip is the tidy one that slides into an awning or tent track, with a touch dimmer and a longer lead.

- 4WD tourers
- Car campers
- Van-lifers
Yes. I paid $30 for 4 m of light that straps to the awning in seconds and dims from low to high. It’s white only, so add a warmer lantern if that bothers you.
