Hi,
Had fun installing led lights in the molding that joins the roof aluminum to the SS sides.
I used 2 separate lengths. I split them at the Girard awning split. 16 ft 5 inches and 22 ft. Powered parallel as it is too long as one strip.
Supplied the power with a 120v-12v transformer located above the front door and have remote dimmers for both sections.
The LED's are visible only from almost directly below and the light is directed down.
5630 LED strips were used for the brightness.
LED Dimensions Chip Surface Area Lumen Flux Power Draw
3528 LED 3.5 mm x 2.8 mm 9.8 mm² 6-8 lumens 20-30 mA @ 2.8-3.4 Volts
5050 LED 5.0 mm x 5.0 mm 25 mm² 16-22 lumens 60 mA @ 2.8-3.4 Volts
5630 LED 5.6 mm x 3.0 mm 16.8 mm² 45-50 lumens 150 mA @ 2.8-3.4 Volts
