Introducing the new ARB Aluminum Awning with Light (8.2 ft x 8.2 ft), an enhancement to the existing high-quality ARB Awning range. ARB has incorporated an LED light strip in the awning roof to ensure the light is right where it is needed.
The slim dimensions of the LED light strip simplifies packing and breakdown processes. The light can be rolled up with the awning roof after use, allowing everything to stay together for your next adventure (make sure the joining cable hangs out about 4 inches from the sleeve).
The ARB Awning Light provides up to 1200 lumens with a color choice of cool white or amber mode and is dimmable via a waterproof-digital dimmer switch.
Building a high-performance light into the roof came with some challenges. The goal, and ultimately the final result, is a small and highly capable light that doesn’t dim prematurely.

The strip light is attached with an aluminum track for heat dissipation, all sealed in a water-tight resin.
