i have some industrial strips that do 35W per meter, but those need a external led driver. and decent quality of flexible strip can pull well over 15W per meter but those are usually 24v and not practical in a 12v van.
Led trips give a very uniform lighting over the entire length of the van and use considerably less power for the amount of light they produce compared to the regular factory bulbs. and lets be honest, the factory bulbs in the rear are less then pathetic to say it kindly. having a uniform lighting across the entire length of the rear section makes life so much better. and i have over 250Ah of battery capacty so i am not scared of draining the battery. it would take 30+ hours to drain the leisure battery with the led strip i plan to use.
i stil dont know where the relay is....
