Title: Replacing ground lights
Post by: BamaFan on May 15, 2016, 08:20:47 pm
I want to replace the ground lights around the exterior of my coach but I have been unable to find a source for them. I would like to use LEDs but the lights with adhesive that I have used inside the coach won't work as there's no way to reliably attach them in an outdoor environment. Has anyone here done this? Do you have a source that you can share? Thanks.

I will be putting a string of Blue LEDs along each side and about 6 " or so away from edge. I plan to put the string on a strip of aluminum or plastic and add silicone to each side of adhesive backing, The metal strip will then be attached to the underbelly. Have not got to it yet but that is the plan.
