Powerwinch (carefree Of Colo) LED Strip Light Kit
Powerwinch (Carefree of Colorado) LED strip light kits are built around one practical idea: extend the usable hours of your RV campsite without drilling, rewiring, or visiting a dealer. Carefree of Colorado has been making RV awnings and accessories since the early 1970s, and its LED lighting kits grew out of that awning expertise. They are designed to mount to an awning roller tube, an RV sidewall, or nearly any flat surface.
What Sets These LED Strip Kits Apart
The standout feature of Carefree's universal kits is flexibility. The white LED kit is supplied as a LED strip light kit on a 16-foot roll with a peel-and-stick 3M adhesive backing. It can be trimmed to fit your awning, and the maker states it fits Carefree, Lippert, and Dometic awnings without needing a special slot in the roller tube. Because the strip is cut to length, one kit adapts to a wide range of awning sizes.
Power options are equally versatile. The kits can be used in a plug-and-play setup with a 110V adapter or hardwired into a 12V system, so they work whether you are at a powered site or running off the coach battery. A waterproof RF receiver and a handheld remote provide on/off control and dimming, so you can go from bright task lighting to soft ambient light.
Product Lines to Know
- SR0113 Universal White LED Kit: a 16-foot white strip with a dimmable handheld remote, a waterproof RF receiver, and both 110V and 12V power options.
- SR0112 Universal Color with White LED Kit: adds color options along with flash, fade, and strobe functions for a party-style setup. The kit includes a 16-foot spool, a waterproof RF receiver, a remote, and both plug types.
- Replacement strips such as 901092 and 901094: for swapping out burned-out strips, offered in 30 and 60 lights-per-meter versions. These are brighter than the roughly 18 LPM strips typically installed from the factory, and they include butt splices for connecting to other manufacturers' wiring.
- Latitude awning strip (R060850-001): a 5-meter, 6000K white strip designed for dual-stage Latitude awnings.
Choosing the Right Kit
Start with the job. If you are replacing a dead factory strip, a straightforward replacement roll with a plug matched to your awning is usually enough. If you are adding lighting for the first time, a complete kit with a remote and receiver is the easier route. Consider lights per meter, since a higher LPM gives a denser, brighter glow, and decide whether you want plain white or color effects.
Also confirm your power source. Hardwiring suits a permanent setup, while the 110V adapter is convenient for occasional use. For awnings with a dedicated LED slot, Carefree's installation manual notes that newer four-slot roller tubes have an extra shallow slot for mounting LED strips.
