Installing lights on awning

I've just got an 5050 LED strip with 3M sticky backing and stuck it to the frame of the awning with a simple alligator clip off the second battery.

Still have the same setup as per post #13 of the above thread. Works a treat and love having the ability to dim the LED strip and remotely switch on/off as required. Having permanently fixed LED floodlights certainly have their place, but for chilling under the awning at night without annoying fellow campers, the dimmable option wins it for me. It only takes 30 seconds to whip out the cable and plug in through the side window. Our recent Cape trip had us extending the awning out every night and butting it up against the Oztent RV3. I was able to jump into my tent and bed down for the night and switch off from inside the tent when ready.
