Yellow is positive, blue is negative?

Dome light is a perfect candidate for an LED upgrade, should one choose to.

Done and tested! Opening doors triggers the light. Will try it out when it gets dark. If it's not bright enough, I can double the output with a second unit.

Thanks for the explanation: gives me some ideas how to bring some light under my boot cover. Future project, maybe! :)

What is the voltage feeding that roof light? 12V or 5V?

I have the same issue.

I bought a NEBO GALILEO AIR. I can use it in the back and easily take it to a table outside, without the drama of wiring it up. It has various power settings and a Red light mode. You can even hang it from the rear roof shelf, by installing a hook. I will not be mounting an LED light strip on the shelf now - problem solved and it is more versatile.

Thanks to Ronny Dahl's video for the idea.

At first glance I thought this was a cool photo of a collapsible blender (Margaritas on my mind?)😎

The light is not exclusive to Teralume, I saw the same thing at US shop - but cannot I remember where. I have also seen it under another name at Offload Systems in Sydney. So you maybe be able to get it in the US, with less freight than from Oz.

I asked Teralume if they had a US distributor. They said they didn't so I ordered directly from them. Would be good to have a US source of a similar light, though.

The one I saw at ORS was not Teralume, I looked.

Oh! I was under the impression that Teralume was made in Australia.

No, the this type of LED strip is becoming popular in Australia, esp promoted by Teralume.
