Our visit to Adelaide Caravan Park on June 2013

Last month, we have a visit to Adelaide Caravan Park

Location: Adelaide Caravan Park, South Australia,
Vehicle: motorhome
Maps used: national park introduction map
Gear：Double battery system inside my RV, gas for cooking, ALLED brand LED lights( for current saving purpose), a set of 250W solar panel
Period stay there: 3 days
It is our vehicle. The image is taken under the shadow, so not clearly enough.After our arrival at Adelaide Caravan Park, Peter and May are busy preparing everything for a tent camping. They are carrying some chair from the RV, after that we will set the awning to have a lunch there.


When Peter and May busy picking up something, I will turn around to take some image of the surrounding. At our arrival day, the weather is fine, sunny is shinning. Not to wasting this beautiful sunshine, after our settling, we will set up a solar panel.
This is our opposite side. We have friends there. See, someone is making a off road camping here.

Except the your RV settling, there are local resisdential houses for travellers. Some as little shops, selling snacks there.

come and spy on the secret of LED

Come and spy on the secret of the LED
Everyday, you may be surrounded by the LED bulbs, from indoors to outdoors, such as led cabinet light of kitchen, led down light of the public hall, led landscape light along the flower path after sunset, wall washing lighting surrounding the great building, even the automotive lighting on your way back home, the stair light for your leisure hanging around at night.

Beauty and Sturdy
Now that everywhere is filled with the shadow of the LED, how much do you know about the strange or familiar lighting friend?
Here we will spy on its secret park ~construction firstly, would you like to come?
As the mainstream lighting in the current led market, ultra bright cool white led would be a great model, which contains three methods for illuminating, such as the Uvled with RGB phosphers , blu-ray single chip with YAG yellow phosphor and the RGB LED. And the blue- leading us into its inner heart area~construction .
Considering the led with two wavelength ( blue-ray single chip with YAG yellow phosphor)which takes a most of the led market.
Let us make one commercial available led G4 bulb under the magnifying glass, what the hell does the world look like in the led G4 bulb? Here we set off the journey!
The inner construction and YAG phosphors
At the first sight of the led G4 chip , here is picture of one chip sealed with clean exposy which is mixtured with YAG yellow flurorescent with the power cut off.
The well-sealed surface of a single LED chip
Under the wiring circumstance, the embeded blue chip light emits blue lights, a small part will be absorbed by yellow phosphor, a large proportion will stimulate yellow phosphor powder and contribute to emitting white light with color mixture.
The animation of the lighting glorious show
With the amount of input current increasing , the luminous intensity will increase. And please do ensure the input voltage is under the nominal voltage， although the brightness will be raised as the input voltage is increased , the relative life time will be shortened if the input voltage is beyond the rated voltage.
After the journey deeping into the LED inner park(construction), is there any idea to get a real bulb ,popping up and ruminaing in your mind? What if you go ahead for the 12V LED G4 bulb, it can be another happy experience worths being remembered.

Camping Trip Power Supply

Once you have the opportunities to escape from work, a coupon of weeks, no matter you want to stay in a campsite or explore for a remote area, the essential conditional is you have all necessary gear to be self-sufficient.
This article discuss about the power needs you need for a trip.

When planning a trip, ask yourself some question, “how long of distance I will go?” “ Where will I get a restore?” “How long will I stay there?” All of the consideration will determine the camping gear quantity, the frequency of restore or something else.

Power is the first essential gear you need for exterior survive. Power to your trip is as food to human beings. Your vehicle driving, cooking, keeping food, illumination etc, all of this will need power. So power supply should be given of priority of when planning a trip.
Normally, there are three kind of power supply: battery, gas, solar panel. A combination of these will be recommended as it will give you a flexible power charging solutions.

A dual battery system will not add to your hassle. Choose the right power consumption is also a good way for longer battery usage time.
Fridge and camping illumination are the main factors which draws current. So choose the right kind of these facility is needed. As the fridge, choose a right-size and never leave too many spare space.

As the camping illumination lighting source, change to an efficient power consumption lighting source is a smart choose. Here we want to do a calculation for you.

When a car battery is fully charged, for example a 12 Volt 55 AH Deep Cycle AGM Battery, the capacity of the battery is 12V X 55Ah=660Wh. To use the same capacity of battery, different lighting source really make a great different. A 10W Halogen G4 for example, your battery can provides a 66hs continuous illumination for one of this light.  To reach the same brightness level, a LED G4 bulb, it just charges 2W of power. That means it provides 330Hours continuous illumination for the same capacity of a car battery.

Lighting source	Halogen G4	LED G4
Wattage	10W	2W
Brightness	150Lumens	140Lumens
Car battery	12V 55AH	12V 55AH
battery continuous illumination hours	66	330

Gas is another power solution especially when conducting cooking. But storage safety should be aware of. Storage of LPG can also be an issue, as it needs to be carried in certified tanks, which means to carry enough gas to power your camp lights, fridge and stove for two weeks can prove difficult.

Solar panel is a complementary power solution as on your trip you are hardly short of sunshine. But you need certain investment on the equipment for it. A 240W system will easily run a 60L fridge, all camp lights, charge all batteries for phone, camera and perhaps a laptop with only 5-6 hours of sunshine a day.

LED Camping Light Installation Spare Accessories Usage Guide

How to fix a LED Dual Camping Light
Actually when going outdoor to conduct a camping activities, it is hard to find a solution to fix your light. A lantern for example, you can place it directly on the floor or hood it at the top. A UFP kind LED Camping Light for example, it is designed with the magnet design, which you can have seperated parts attach to each. But actually it is hard to find a light with the perfect fixing or installation solution that fixs exactly for the tent/ awning area.
ALLED's LED Camping Light has the advantage over the similar product at market. Because it has really considered the tent/ awning environment. It is designed with a transparent velcro coat, inside which a flexible strip light provides illumination. Actually it is the velcro strape coat that makes its difference at fixing aspect.
Turn to the back of the light,you can see this spare accessories, you can tear them down to have a look. From left to right, you have three pieces of velcro strape, a hooks with velcro strape, a veclro back. When got this light at hand, not every person have the clear idea of how to use this accessories. Here is the brief introduction of this fixing spare accessories usage.
The tent or awning will always included the bracket support structure. But perhaps not every one with this LED Camping Light at hand know how to take advantage of this bracket support structure and our velcro strape accessoies to fix this light. Image above is the demonstration of the usage of those three veclro strape. First tie them down from the light body. Then find a bracket area to round the velcro strape. You should go a few distance to paste every velcro strape. As this light is 1200MM in length, every 400MM to paste a velcro strape is recommend. Of course, you do not have to use out three in total. In some situations, only two pieces of this velcro strape can hold the weight of the light. After you fix the velcro strape, then attach the back of the light to the veclro strape. This installation is the "patent" idea, at the market, you hardly find any similar product. As it is so smart that, why not have a try yourself.
Secondly, you can see the hooks with velcro strape.
Nearly every one notice to use the hooks, but not every one knows the details.
The hooks at ends of this LED Camping Light is another fixing solution to take advantage of the tents or awning braket support struction. So how can you settle a distance if the 1200MM is not enough from one end to another end? Here is why this hooks is designed with a velcro strape. But few people notice that this hooks it is with a velcro strape that can be tie down from the body of the light. When you need to settle a distance, you can tear down the veclro back which is along with the hooks, so that it longers. But the velro back which is tearable is just about 250MM long, if it is still not enough after that, you need to settle it yourseleves.
If you can find a smarter usage method of this LED Camping Light, please enclosed a image to show us. If your solution can be an inspiration, you will get a gift from ALLED.

LED Camping Light Dual Colour Restore Method

LED Camping Light Restore Instruction
When you get a LED Camping Light at hand, you will receive a portable package bag from us. Open the zipper of the bag, you will see the light accompanied with all of the accessories( cable and cigarette connectors) lying tidily inside. This light is with a 10M cable, so its cable is rounded by a Velcro back, putted in central of the strip light.
The package bag is not for one time usage. For your recycle usage of the package bag, you need to know how to put back the light onto the bag. But after usage, you may find all things in disorder situation. When restoring the LED Camping Light onto the package bag again, you may come across with the difficulties as followed. 1, The cable is so long that, it is hard to get it in order again. 2, It seems too hard to put the light back onto the package as the restored one is in larger volume than the package bag.
After usage, hard to restore again?
Here is the step by step restoring instruction of this LED Camping Light.
Firstly bundle up the cable. Taking reference of the crease created before will help to take a right dimension.
Secondly, use the Velcro back to tie the cable into bundles.
Thirdly, Round the LED Strip Light. Which radian to take when doing that? Excessively limited radian when rounding the strip light will damage the strip light inside the transparent veclor coat, as there is circuit board inside. But too wide radian is not proper too, because its volume will become so big that you can not put it inside the bag. So take a proper radian when rounding the strip light is needed. Off course you can do adjust at the final step.
Fourthly, put the rounded strip light into the package bag. Adjustment may need to attach the enough space.
Fifth, put the cable bundles at the middle of the strip light.
Sixthly, close the bag with the zipper. Then you can see put the camping light tidily on to your camping equipment. ?
