Food Trailer Roof Perimeter LED Light Kit

The kit includes our Bluetooth + RF wireless DUAL ZONE Heavy Duty LED controller that allows you to set two lighting zones to create unique lighting effects that are sure to be seen! This kit is currently offered in seven different trailer configurations to fit 6x12', 8x14', 8x16', 8x20', 8x24', 8x28' and 8x32' trailers. We can also customize this kit to fit other trailer/truck formats. Just ask!

You can operate the LED controller with the included RF wireless remote OR you can use your Bluetooth enabled smartphone and our free smartphone APP (Android and IOS). The included RF wireless controller and the RGB LED strip displays the following seven pre-set colors which can be adjusted per lighting zone: Red, green, blue, white, light blue, Boogey Lights green (lime green/yellow), hot pink/purple. The lighting effects options for each lighting zone include: Solid on, dimming, fading, breathing, strobing. The RF remote control offers SEVEN levels lighting effects (e.g. 7 levels of dimming). We also offer the option of RGBW and RGBA (see details below).

With Bluetooth however, your options are significantly expanded. You can control the lights using your bluetooth enable smartphone and our free APP (Android or IOS). With Bluetooth you have the option of configuring the colors with over 16 million possible color combinations.. In addition, lighting effects on the bluetooth smartphone 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 smartphone screen so you can adjust the speed and intensity to get the lighting exactly the way you want it. In addition, you can 'program' your lighting setup to rotating a series of 2 or 3 colors that you choose. And because you have two lighting zones to work with, you can set one zone to one lighting sequence and the other zone to another lighting sequence. It makes for some truly eye-catching led light displays.

CONFIGURATIONS:

1] 8' x 14': 2 - 8' led strips and 4 - 7' led strips (all with 15' power leads).
3] 8' x 16': 2 - 8' led strips and 2 - 16' led strips (all with 15' power leads).
3] 8' x 20': 2 - 8' led strips and 4 - 10' led strips (all with 15' power leads).
4] 8' x 24': 2 - 8' led strips and 4 - 12' led strips (all with 15' power leads).
5] 8' x 28': 2 - 8' led strips and 4 - 14' led strips (all with 15' power leads).
6] 8' x 32': 2 - 8' led strips and 4 - 16' led strips (all with 15' power leads).
7] 6' x 12': 2 - 6' led strips and 2 - 12' led strips (all with 15' power leads).

In all seven configurations, the two 8' led strips (or two 6' strips) are designed to go on the front and rear of the trailer. The other 2 or 4 strips are designed to mount to each side of the trailer. So for example, with an 8' x 20' trailer, there are two 10' led strips on each side of the trailer. These two led strips butt up to each other end to end with the power lead at the opposite end (one power lead facing forward, one power lead facing rearward). The three strips that are facing toward the front of the trailer (1 - 10', 1- 8' and 1- 10') are assigned to ZONE 1. The other three strips facing toward the rear are assigned to ZONE 2. The power leads go over the side and up on the roof. They access the LED Controller inside the foot trailer in one location. See diagrams on Installation tab.

The LED Controller included in this kit is our GEN2 Dual Zone Heavy Duty Bluetooth COMBO LED Controller. COMBO means they can be operated using either the included M7 RF wireless hand held remote OR your Bluetooth enable smartphone (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 smartphone screen so you can adjust the speed and intensity to get the lighting the way you want it.

Key Features & Capabilities

You can read more about these features on our GEN2 COMBO LED CONTROLLER product page.

This light kit is offered in three RGB multi-color configurations: RGB, RGBW (RGB + warm white) and RGBA (RGB + amber). The default is RGB. RGB stands for RED, GREEN, BLUE. Each LED chip on the strip contiains three diodes: One Red. One Green. One Blue. When paired with an LED controller, the mixing of those three primary colors can create up to 16 million different color combinations. For example, equal parts RED + GREEN + BLUE = WHITE (bright white, 6000 Kelvin temp). RGB leds are the most common leds due to their versatility in creating so many different color combinations. With RGB and the included RF wireless remote you can change between 7 pre-set colors (Red, Green, Blue, White, Light Blue, Lime Green/Yellow, Hot Pink/Purple) and functions of on/off, blending, strobing, breathing, flashing, fading and dimming. You can also use your Bluetooth enabled smart phone to create a custom look. The Bluetooth APP allows you to program the RGB diodes of any of our RGB, RGBW and RGBA strips with over 16 million different color combinations plus three pre-sets. Also, the Bluetooth APP offers 2 and 3 color rotation programming along with two timer features. Click the BLUETOOTH APP navigation tab on this product page for significantly more information on both the Bluetooth capabilities and APP functionality (including a video showing how the Bluetooth APP works)

RGBW: On the RGBW led strip, in addition to RGB, you get one extra diode which is Warm White. That warm white diode has a Kelvin temperature of 2400 which means it has a yellowish look giving it a warmer, softer, candle like look (see photo below). That fourth diode on the RGBW led strip can be wired directly to our GEN2 LED Controller which supports RGBx LEDs. As an option, you could also wire that fourth diode to a completely separate on/off switch. Your choice. You could also use the Quick-Switch feature with this fourth diode too.

RGBA: On the RGBA led strip, in addition to RGB, you get one extra diode which is AMBER. That fourth diode on the RGBA led strip can be wired directly to our GEN2 LED Controller which supports RGBx LEDs. As an option, you could also wire that fourth diode to a completely separate on/off switch. Your choice. You could also use the Quick-Switch feature with this fourth diode too.

Important Installation Note: If purchasing RGBW or RGBA be aware that these LED strips are wider than the default RGB strip to accomodate the additional diode for that fourth color. There's also additional power lead wire required to power that fourth diode. So both RGBW and RGBA cost more. RGB is 10mm wide whereas RGBW and RGBA are both 12mm wide. The wider LED strip can present a challenge during installation if you're installing the LED strip in the optional Mini T12 Aluminimun Channel. The aluminium channel is 12.3 mm wide; just a little wider than the LED strip. Extreme care needs to be taken when installing the LED strip in that aluminum channel. Forcing the LED strip into the channel can damage the LED strip; something that is not covered under warranty. For this reason we do not recommend using the optional aluminum channels with the RGBW or RGBA LED strips unless you're absolutely certain you know what you're doing. To be clear, the installation of the RGBW or RGBA LED strip into the aluminum can be done but the person doing the installation must understand the issue and the risk associated with this type of installation. We also suggest allocating at least an extra hour to the installation time as carefully pushing the LED strip into the channel takes time. It's not something you can rush and do it properly.

We offer the option of pre-building the LED Control Center with your order. These LED Control Centers make for a professional looking installation. Also makes the installation a little easier for DIYers since the controller wiring is neatly organized and easily identifiable. It's also a huge time saver. Can easily save two hours (or more) when doing a typical installation.

The pre-built Control Center has the LED Controller and power connections mounted to a PVC board. The power connections make it simple to connect your battery power as well as the LED strip power leads via a terminal blocks mounted to the board. Simply strip the end of the battery lead cable and LED strip power leads, push them into the terminal block and tighten the screw. This design also makes trouble shooting easier. The board has four 2" stand offs with plexi-glass mounted on top which keeps the components protected. You can read more about this option on the LED CONTROL CENTER product page. We include some photos below. The LED Control Center option is only available when an LED Controller and/or relays are ordered.

Mounting the LED strips in an aluminum channel with plastic diffusers on top of the strips makes for a very nice, polished installation. It's a popular upgrade that not only looks terrific even in the daylight, it adds another layer of protection to the LED strips. We strongly recommend this option for anyone who wants the best possible look for their food trailer light system. See photo below.

LED lights are mounted to a Printed Circuit Board (or PCB for short). The color of that PCB makes a difference in how the finished installation looks in the daylight. Our LED light strips come in two versions to match the surface the strip will be attached to. If you have a light colored vehicle, you will probably want to order the WHITE PCB light strip. If you have a dark colored vehicle, you will probably want to order the BLACK PCB light strip.

No two installation scenarios are the same. Not everyone shares the same installation quality goals. Some folks are OK with twisting wires together, others want to solder them. Some folks are OK with running wires where they may be seen or unprotected to save money/time, others want a tidy, clean install without any wires showing. Some folks are OK with mounting their LED strips to whatever surface they can find, others want to take the time necessary to build out appropriate mounting surfaces to provide the best lighting effect on their vehicle. The point is it's not possible to provide all the materials necessary for all installation scenarios and quality goals. Our light kits provide the essential components needed for a high-quality, functioning lighting system. Installation of our light kit to your specific vehicle may however require additional items to make it look and fit the way you want. This is particularly the case with electrical wiring and mounting of LED strips. Before proceeding with your installation we suggest you consider THESE OTHER ITEMS.

The short answer is probably not. All Boogey Lights® RGB LED strips are COMMON CATHODE LEDS. They share a common ground and will only work with positively switched controllers. Most LED strips on the market today are COMMON ANODE because the controller technology used to power them is less expensive to manufacture. However they're not nearly as bright and are an overall inferior design when compared with COMMON CATHODE LEDs. For more information, click the button below.

Will Boogey Lights® Components Work with Other Brands?

Boogey Lights® Low Profile Hi-Intensity Surface Mounted LED light strips are used in a number of Boogey Lights products for a variety of vehicle applications (including this product). Where and how these light strips are installed make all the difference in their durability and thus, our warranty. For this reason the duration of the Boogey Lights Low Profile Hi-Intensity LED Light Strips original owner warranty varies based on the vehicle application, use and installation types.

• Recreational Applications: RVs, Motorcycles, Golf Carts: 3 years
• Cars/Pickup Trucks/Off-Road: 1 year
• Marine / Fresh Water: 3 years
• Marine / Salt Water: 90 days
• Food/Cargo Truck/Trailer, Other Light Duty Commercial Use / Installation done by Boogey Lights technicians in Florence, KY: 3 years
• Food/Cargo Truck/Trailer, Other Light Duty Commercial Use / All other installation types: 1 year
• Heavy Duty Truck and/or Trailer Commercial Use / Installation by Boogey Lights technicians in Florence, KY: 1 year
• Heavy Duty Truck and/or Trailer Commercial Use / All other installation types: 90 days

Note on Commercial Applications: These low-profile surface mounted LED strips are not built to withstand significant flexing or lateral movement of the surface the strip is mounted to. Some examples include on semi-truck trailers as well as tow trucks where there is significant movement, bending or flexing of the surface to which the strip is mounted. Also, the strip can not mounted in such a way as they span multiple mounting surfaces. Mounting them this way will virtually guarantee the strip will fail sooner rather than later. These strips must be mounted to one single continuous smooth, clean, flat surface and in an area that is protected from corrosive chemicals. Commercial vehicles that frequently travel roads treated with corrosive chemicals often used for melting snow and ice can impact the durability of these LED strips if the strips are mounted in an area that is exposed to these chemicals. Hi-Intensity Strips that fail in these operating environments ARE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. For these types of operating environments we strongly recommend (and warranty) our HEAVY DUTY LED strips.
