Terrafirma tf7013 12v strip lights
Hello,
Before I press the button, has anyone got a set of these? Just want to work
Out the power consumption as its not clear on the ad. how many watts each strip is or consumption in amps
Thanks,

Haven’t used them but they look nice for the price, and being Terrafirma they’re not going to be rubbish.
What are you getting the lights for? What use? I’ve got a strip of led light on my awning, just basic self adhesive led lights, that plug in when I’m using them and they’re pretty good light.

Well I have a awning for the side of the disco and Im building a trailer that will have a RTT fitted to it and again, an awning on the side of it.
Like the idea they are portable, so I can use them with or without the trailer.
Going to power them of a separate agm battery, again so I can transfer them from one mode or another
Just wanted to work out how long they would last on the battery from full2013 Baltic Blue D4 - a balance between family car and camping machine - trying to not bladder it with stuff I dont need!

I would hazard a guess at about 5w per metre, so 20w rounded to 24 for ease would be 2A on a 12v battery, so a 54Ah battery bould last about 13 hrs of continuous use without damaging or charging. These are ballpark figures but won't be far off I'd imagine.Discovery 4 GS 2009 Auto Stornoway Grey

These may be an alternative, not as cool but should be a decent set.

I built my own for my Camper Trailer. Just got the self adhesive strips and stuck them to an Aluminium strip and then rivetted on some C clips for fixing to the tent poles. A cheap option that provided good light.2013 RR Vogue SE SDV8
