RV Roof Accent LED Light Kit

Our advanced lighting systems offer extensive customization and features - more than any other lighting system - so understanding the details is key to getting the results you want. Please take a moment to read this entire product page, starting with the FAQs below and continuing through all sections. Be sure to also check the INSTALL tab for downloadable installation documentation and wiring diagrams. These contain critical pre-purchase and setup information you need to review upfront.

Successful installation requires reading the written installation directions. While our How-To Videos offer helpful overviews, they do not replace the detailed documentation. Reading the instructions carefully is essential for proper fit, function, and long-term performance. Most support calls and warranty claims we receive stem from customers who don't read this information. Please take our advice and read the directions. We promise, you'll be happy with the results if you do.

This product can be configured to fit just about any 35' to 48' Class A Motorhome that has awning cassettes mounted on the roof. While it's not essential that the RV have the awning cassettes installed, we think it looks better. You could for example mount these lights to the roof of just about any RV or trailer shining upward. Without the structure of an awning cassette (or similiar fairing) to reflect off of though, the look won't be as impressive in our view. This is a personal preference though. Also, nothing says you can't use these strips on top of a fifth wheel trailer, travel trailer or even a cargo or utility trailer.

This light kit itself will include at least two LED strips per side. Each LED strip will have a 15' power lead secured to one end. On longer motorhomes (above 38'), there will be three LED strips (per side). Depending on where the awning cassettes are mounted to the roof, you may need to trim one of the LED strips to fit your specific RV. We include instructions with each kit on how to do this as well as the heat shrink necessary to properly seal any strips that need to be cut.

Before ordering we strongly suggest carefully examining your RV's roof where you will be mounting these strips. Why? Because it's important the LED strips be mounted in a location that DOES NOT accumulate or pool water around the LED strips. Not just rain water but the condensate coming from your roof mounted AC units. While these LED strips are water proof, they are not marine grade submersible. They cannot sit or be submersed in water. They have to be able to dry out. If they do sit in water, they will fail prematurely (not covered under warranty). So for roof accent lighting, the location where you mount the strips matters - a lot. If you're not sure or just want to be safe, order the optional Aluminum Channels. The aluminum channel is secured to the roof first (using included 3M VHB tape + 3M Adhesion Primer) and then the LED strip is mounted inside the aluminum channel. Then, the entire LED strip will need to be covered with Lexel (petroleum based, clear sealant). You're essentially filing the aluminum channel with Lexel (a typical 40' RV will require 3 - Lexel tubes) to completely surround the LED strip with sealant. The aluminum channel is needed to mold the Lexel around the LED strip. Doing so completely seals the LED strip from water that may pool on the roof of your RV. It's important too to use Lexel (vs some generic 'silicone') because it's a) petroleum based so it can adhear to the LED strip coating and b) it will dry clear so as not to impact the amount of light coming from the LED diodes. Note: These aluminum channels include a plastic diffuser. Do not install the plastic diffuser on top for roof perimeter accent lighting. While adding the plastic diffuser on top may look good, doing so will trap moisture inside that channel which will never dry.

Some are required. Some are optional. Refer to the following for details on each of the product options offered.

RV FORMAT: There are 3 possible RV format options presented. The 'format' relates to the type of RV you have. Motor Home Class A, Super C or Fifth Wheel. We limit the product to these three RV formats because they are typically in the 35' to 48' long range. If you have an RV or trailer that is a different format, reach out to us and we can assist you with ordering a roof light kit for that format. Note that it's important to get this right because it, along with the overall length of the RV and model tells us important information about the lengths of light strips to ship. Do not guess at this. Make your selection from the drop down list.

CONFIGURATION: This light kit can be purchased for use just on the PASSENGER'S side of the RV or BOTH the Passenger's and the Driver's. The default is just the passenger's side.

LED COLOR OPTIONS: This option tells us what color format you want for your light kit. There are three multi-color and eight single color options. We have a detailed discussion about these LED color options further down on this product page. Be sure to read it. It's important. If you select any of the three multi-color options, you'll be presented with the option to make an LED CONTROLLER selection (essential to operate RGBx LEDs). If you select any of the eight single color options, you'll be presented with a switching option.

LED CONTROLLER OPTIONS: This option is required for any RGB, RGBA or RGBW LED color selection. We offer a SINGLE ZONE LED CONTROLLER and a DUAL ZONE LED CONTROLLER. There is a detailed discussion about these two options further down on this product page. It's important to read it.

SWITCH OPTIONS: This product selection is only presented if you are ordering SINGLE COLOR LEDS. There are four possible single color switch options you can select as follows:

1. RF Wireless ON/OFF only. Select this option if you want a simple wireless ON/OFF remote control (key fob style) to turn the lights on and off (no dimming or brightness control). We include a 40 amp relay too.
2. RF Wireless ON/OFF/DIMMING control (20 amps). Select this option if you want a wireless remote control to operate the led strip. The wireless remote has a hand held control that allows you to turn the lights on, off and dim. In addition, you can strobe and breath the lights too. Bluetooth control is included as well. This controller is rated at a maximum amperage of 20 amps.
3. On/Off Toggle Switch. This is a simple on/off hard wired toggle switch with relay. Nothing complicated.
4. I'll supply my own switches. Select this option if you have your own single color switching mechanism. Just make sure it's rated to handle the amperage which for most under-glow LED light systems is in the 15 to 20 amp range. Some are higher depending on the number of LEDs and amount of wire in the circuit.

RV LENGTH: Select the length of your RV from the available drop down list.  This measurement is in feet. Use the real, actual overall length.  Some model numbers will have an approximate length embedded in the model number.  We need the actual overall length.  If your RV length is not in even feet, round down (e.g. 39.5' use 39').

RV MANUFACTURER: Select your RV MANUFACTURER's name from the drop down list. If your RV manufacturer is not listed, select OTHER at the bottom of the list.

RV MODEL NAME: Type in the MODEL NAME of your RV. This is different from the manufacturer name or the model number.

RV MODEL NUMBER: Type in your RVs MODEL NUMBER. This is the most important piece of information. Do not guess at it or skip it.  We cannot build your kit without it.  RV manufacturers assign a model number to each model they produce. The model number is different from the model name. The model numbers can be all numbers or a mix of numbers and letters. Some examples: 3412, LXE44B, 37K, KSDP3910, 29XPS, 4014LEV, 36TK3, LX455, MD2, 4369.

RV YEAR: Select the year of your RV.

ADD ALUMINUM CHANNEL: This product selection is optional but if you can afford it, we suggest adding it. Why? Because they provide a professional looking installation AND protect the LED strip from sitting in water which can damage the strips over time. Scroll down for more information (and photos) about this option.

ADD POWER CONVERTER: Whether or not you need a 120vac to 12vdc power converter for your Roof Accent Light kit installation will depend on where you're getting power from. Boogey Lights® products are native 12vdc devices. So if possible, we prefer to connect directly to 12vdc power. That's not always possible -- especially with Roof Accent light installs. For probably 75% of the RV Roof Accent light installations we do here at Boogey HQ, we have to pull the power from the front of the RV -- usually above the driver's/passenger's seat area. In those situations there isn't always 12vdc power available sufficient to support a 20 to 40amp DC power draw. In most cases, there is a 120vac power outlet above the drivers/passenger's area though. In these situations, we'll add one (or two) 20 amp 120vac to 12vdc power converters to power the Roof Accent light system. More information about this issue below and on the INSTALL tab of this product page.

For the three multi-color LED options, this kit offers both SINGLE ZONE and DUAL ZONE controller options. As the names suggest, a Single Zone controller has just one single lighting zone. All LEDs wired to the controller are on one zone. Whatever color or feature set you apply will be what you get on all leds. Pretty simple. With our Dual Zone controller, you can set up and operate two distinct lighting zones which can be operated and controlled individually or together. Many customers will install their full-perimeter under-glow system such that ZONE 1 controls the drivers side under-glow lights and ZONE 2 controls the front, rear and passenger's side under-glow lights. Why? If you find yourself camping in crowded campgrounds there may be situations where you want to turn off the driver's side under-glow lights (which faces the campers next to you) but leave the front, rear and passenger's side under-glow lights on. Of course there are other reasons too. Some customers will use ZONE 1 for the entire under-glow system and ZONE 2 for their awning (or slide out) lighting. Previously this type of configuration would require two different controllers. The point is that with the Duty Dual Zone LED Controller you have more flexibility as to how you want to control your Boogey Lights. On a Dual Zone controller each lighting zone is capable of supporting up to 1500 LEDs for a total of 3000 LEDs. It will work with your Android® or iOS® Smart phone. It will also work with the included M7 Style RF wireless remote. Details on features are below.

GEN2 LED CONTROLLERS

Bluetooth + RF Combo Wireless Control

The LED Controllers offered in this kit are our GEN2 Single Zone and Dual Zone Heavy Duty Bluetooth COMBO LED Controllers. COMBO means they can be operated using either the included M7 RF wireless hand held remote OR your Bluetooth enable smart phone (and our free APP). Both will work. The RGB version is capable of displaying 16 million different color combinations. The GEN2 RGBx version can display even more color combinations depending on the type of LED strips connected to them. In addition, lighting effects on the Bluetooth controller are significantly more controllable in terms of speed and intensity. Each color and lighting effect is controlled by "sliders" or a color square on your smart phone screen so you can adjust the speed and intensity to get the lighting the way you want it.
