Transform your RV patio into a comfortable evening retreat with the Carefree of Colorado R001885 LED flexible light strip. Designed specifically for RV awning applications, this 5-meter strip delivers consistent, warm white illumination across your full awning span -- with low power draw that won't strain your house battery or inverter.
The R001885 is a purpose-built LED strip light from Carefree of Colorado -- one of the most recognized names in RV awning systems. It is engineered to mount cleanly inside or along the awning roller tube channel, delivering even light distribution without hot spots or dark gaps. At 60 LEDs per meter across a 5-meter run, you get 300 individual light points covering nearly 197 inches of awning space.
The warm white color temperature (2500K) produces a relaxed, amber-toned glow ideal for evenings at the campsite -- comfortable for conversation, dining, and relaxing without the harsh blue-white glare of daylight-temperature LEDs. An 8-inch lead wire makes connecting to your RV's 12V power source straightforward, with minimal routing required.
60 LEDs per meter across the full 5-meter (196.85-inch) length ensures consistent, gap-free illumination along your entire awning.
Amber-toned warm white output creates a relaxing campsite atmosphere -- easy on the eyes after dark without washing out surroundings.
LED technology keeps current draw minimal, making this strip suitable for off-grid and boondocking setups without significant battery impact.
Pre-attached 8-inch lead simplifies connection to your RV's 12V power supply, reducing the need for extra extension wiring in most awning setups.
The R001885 is engineered by Carefree of Colorado to integrate with their roller awning systems. If you currently have a Carefree awning with an existing LED strip or are upgrading a unit that originally shipped without lighting, this is the correct OEM-spec replacement or add-on strip.
The flexible PCB construction allows the strip to follow the natural curve of the awning roller tube or canopy rail without cracking or kinking. The strip can be trimmed at designated cut points if your awning span is shorter than 5 meters, but it cannot be extended beyond its 5-meter length.
This strip measures 5 meters (196.85 inches) in total length. Verify your awning's usable lighting channel length before ordering. For awnings significantly shorter than 16 feet, trimming at the cut marks will be necessary. This strip is not designed to be spliced for lengths beyond 5 meters.
