Awning Lighting

Are you thinking about lighting on the roller of the awning or lighting on the outside of the van under the awning?
I use a fluro that has a hook on the end which I loop through the cross roof bar.... Will take a photo tomorrow
Yep I am the same with cable ties.
But I splurged on the Havaiana Thong lights and just cable tie these to the rope.
See pic.

Thanks Mr Happi. I like the 12V LED option, just wasn't sure about the cabling. A mate of mine has a 240V to 12V converter with the connection to the light strip being like a laptop power supply plug (ie. smaller than the normal cigarette lighter size 12V plug), but his lights are a poor quality (not bright enough).
What size/set-up did you go for, and do you know where I could find decent quality LED gear?

I just bought a strip of lights like this one off ebay. Cut it into 3 equal strips. Attached them to some aluminum stripping and wired them with some speaker-like cable and a 12v plug.
I cable tie one of the light strips to the awning and run the cable up the roof pole of the awning, through the top of the front door and down to the 12v socket which sits just inside the door. At this stage I've only used one, as it generally throws enough light for under the awning/annexe.
I'm not all that handy but managed to put these together fairly solidly. If I had my time again, I probably would save myself the effort and time and simply buy a Korr lighting kit
