HardKorr LIFESTYLE 1.3M ORANGE/WHITE EZY-FIT WATERPROOF LED STRIP LIGHT
$49.00
Our best value strip light… ever!
Our Lifestyle Ezy-Fit LED strip is very simple to set up, and is ideally suited to be used in tent awnings or anywhere you want to set up a light quickly. You can use the Velcro® strips sewn into the back to quickly attach to a pole, or use the inbuilt sail track to slide straight into the channel of most awnings or annexes.
The light comes with both orange and white LEDs built into the single strip light; the white light is ideal when there are no bugs around, and the naturally bug-repellent orange light is ideal for when bugs are present. In fact the orange light reduces the presence of bugs by up to 90%!
Key features
- One strip contains both orange and white LEDs
- Easy to mount: Velcro® attachment straps and handy inbuilt sail track
- 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 light
- Velcro® attachment straps and handy inbuilt sail track
- Low power consumption – can be left on all night without affecting your battery
From orange to white at the touch of a button.
Drag the slider to see what happens when you switch our 1.3m ezy-fit strip light from its bright white setting over to bug-reducing orange.
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).
