Hardkorr 3 x 1.2m Strip Tri Colour LED Awning Light Kit
$119.00
Easy permanent lighting for your awning.
This ultra-bright flexible LED light kit is the easiest way to illuminate the area under your 180° or 270° awning. It’s designed to be permanently mounted and can be folded away with your awning when it is stored, reducing the amount of time it takes to set up and pack down your campsite.
The kit will work with all common awnings, with the length of the incuded cables calibrated to minimise excess. The 1.5m power lead has a cig plug on the end to allow the kit to be powered from any 12v outlet on your vehicle.
Using the included tri-colour dimmer (exclusive to Hardkorr) you can create three distinct colours of light. The cool white setting provides maximum brightness, whereas the new warm white setting will still give you great brightness but with a more relaxed feel – perfect for later at night. Switching to the orange light reduces the presence of bugs by up to 90%, and is useful around food preparation and eating areas.
Constructed with heavy-duty double-sided tape from 3M®, the flexible lights are easy to mount and promise long-lasting adhesion.
Key features
- 3,300 lumens light output (on white setting) will easily illuminate the area under any awning
- Strips can be cut every 5cm to ensure a perfect fit to your awning arms
- Genuine OSRAM® LED chips
- High-grade silicone outer is resistant to UV, impact and scratches, and will maintain its integrity and flexibility in extreme temperatures
- Genuine 3M® double-sided tape for long-lasting adhesion
- Bug-reducing orange light technology
- IP68 waterproof rating means the lights are completely watertight (in fact they will run underwater)
- Waterproof locking DC connectors on all cables
- Heavy-duty, double insulated cables to prevent voltage drop, which results in brighter bars
- Minimal heat output, unlike gas lamps
- Low power consumption – can be left on all night without draining your deep-cycle battery
From Orange to White at the touch of a button.

How does orange light reduce bug presence?
Some bugs, like mosquitos and moths, can’t help but move their body towards any light source they can see. This phenomenon is called positive phototaxis. Entomologists still don’t have a complete understanding of why this phenomenon exists, but it is clearly observable in nature.
Of course, bugs will only be attracted to light they can see, and there is a useful difference between the spectra of light which are visible to humans compared to bugs. Humans can generally see light which has a wavelength between 380nm (blue) and 740nm (red). Most bugs, conversely, can see light with a wavelength between 300nm and 600nm.
The wavelength of our orange LEDs is 610nm, putting them outside of the spectrum visible to must bugs, but still well inside the boundaries of human vision. As a result, most bugs will not congregate around our orange light because they simply don’t know it is there.

Know before you buy
Before you buy driving lights
Extra driving lights are legal in Victoria, within limits on how many you fit, where they go and how they're switched. Here's how to choose a set that's bright where you need it and road legal.
- Four extra, at most
You can fit up to four additional driving lights, and an LED light bar counts as one of them (VSI 8). Pairs must be at the same height and face forward.
- Wired to high beam
Driving lights must only come on with your high beam and go off with it. Dip within 200 m of oncoming traffic or a vehicle you're following.
- Where they go
A single light bar must sit on the centreline. Lights can go above the roof line if they're in the front half of the vehicle, and on a bull bar they must sit behind its front face.
- Spot, flood or combo
A spot beam reaches far down the road, a flood lights a wide area close in, and a combo does some of both. Lux at a distance tells you more about reach than total lumens (Narva).
Common questions
Are light bars legal in Victoria?
Yes. A light bar counts as one of up to four additional driving lights. It must be white, face forward, sit on the vehicle's centreline if it's a single bar, and only work with high beam (VSI 8; Road Safety (Vehicles) Regulations 2021).
How many driving lights can I fit?
Up to four additional lights, light bars included (VSI 8).
Do they have to be wired to high beam?
Yes. In Victoria, driving lights may only switch on when your high beam is on and must turn off with it (VSI 8).
Are amber or coloured covers legal?
Not on the road. Lamp covers must be clear, untinted, uncoloured and clean (VSI 8).
Do I have to cover my lights when I'm not using them?
There's no Victorian rule that says you must cover them. What matters is that they only work with high beam and that you dip them for other road users.
Lux or lumens: which matters?
Lumens measure the total light a lamp puts out. Lux measures how much light lands on the road at a distance, so the distance at which a beam still gives 1 lux tells you more about how far it reaches (Narva).
