Learn how to install a LED track light in your rooftop tent with this step-by-step guide. Get bright, even lighting for your camper setup.

Quick answer

Install the LED Track Light by sliding it into the channel of your awning arm or tent extrusion. Secure the power cable and test before use.

Why use a track light instead of a strip light?

A track light is designed to fit into specific channels on awnings and tents, giving you a clean, integrated look without adhesive or clips. It also protects the light from weather when stored in its sack.

Installation steps

  1. 1. Identify the correct channel: Locate the channel on your awning arm or tent extrusion. The LED Track Light fits the ARC 270 Awning arm, Standard Awning front extrusion, and Vagabond or Desperado tent extrusion. Check your tent model before starting to ensure compatibility.
  2. 2. Slide the track light into the channel: Gently push the 6ft rope light into the channel. Start at one end and work your way along. Avoid kinking the light. If the light feels stuck, do not force it—check for obstructions in the channel.
  3. 3. Route and secure the power cable: Run the power cable from the light to your power source. Use cable ties or clips to keep it tidy and out of the way. Ensure the cable does not pinch when closing the tent. A common mistake is leaving slack that can catch on tent zippers. Secure the cable before closing up.
  4. 4. Test the light before finalizing: Turn on the power to confirm the light works and is positioned correctly. Adjust if needed. If the light is dim or flickering, check the power connection and that the light is fully seated in the channel.
  5. 5. Store the track light in its sack when not in use: The LED Track Light comes with a storage sack. Keep it inside when not installed to protect it from the elements. Storing it in the sack prevents damage and keeps the light clean for your next trip.
