No one can deny you've given a masterclass in LED and wiring. I'm going to float a thought here.... The more complicated you make something, the more likely it is one of the complications you add will fail. K.I.S.S. Jussayin... "Things are starting to break..."

[@MispronouncedAdventures]

Simple is relative. as fair as LED’s going wiring to people easy and fault fixing is it. it’s been 3 arctic winters put there in. I think the important part here is I built the system, so I know how it works

[@nutsandy7183]

i love sponsored videos when the information in it is actually helpful! Kudos

[@MispronouncedAdventures]

Glad it was good. I don’t massive like to “sponsored videos” about the product. Mainly as so many others will have review it. So I try and make them useful videos

[@Rich-n-Cooper]

Inspired use of relays! simple to replace and troubleshoot too. Has given me some ideas for when i do my lights too. Thanks for sharing Alex and loving the rock lights!

[@MispronouncedAdventures]

Thank you very much. Probably other ways of other ways to solve this issue such as diodes or a mini computer. But having lots of relays I find them east to understand and use

[@JiltedMonkey]

Auxbeam: Which lights do you want? Alex: *All* of them! Great video again Alex.

[@MispronouncedAdventures]

Pretty much! You don’t ask you don’t get

[@Karen-bm3rj]

Great video. Didn't understand a word of the technical bits, but lights look good.👍

[@MispronouncedAdventures]

Thank you very much! I am happy with how the lights look and their functionality

[@wanderingwhere]

got to say the underneath lighting looks amazing really sets it all off.... looking at putting a similar setup on a kia picanto camper im doing, thanks for this :)

[@MispronouncedAdventures]

Thank you very much, I love it mainly just for taking photos of the van with them on

[@Alivefrom45]

Love it, great job Alex, thank you so much for including the wiring layout.

[@MispronouncedAdventures]

No problem at all, glad it was helpful

[@ProjectCamper]

That explains the lights under yeti at the vanlife festival. 👍

[@MispronouncedAdventures]

Pretty much why I wanted to add them

[@ProjectCamper]

@@MispronouncedAdventures I must say they look really great.

Now you do many things outside the van, Cheers!🍻

Cheers for the help!

I wish I was cleaver enough to do this 💡 I’d love all this on my van 🚐

[@TheJeanGenius]

Your van looks pretty rad now, Alex 🔥🔥🔥

[@MispronouncedAdventures]

Thank you! All the lights

[@fergusmoloney]

Really nice wiring tutorials. I don’t know if I’d personally go with auxbeam. The Amazon reviews paint a very different picture compared to the sponsored KZbin videos I’ve seen… still this video can easily be used as a reference for any lights so thanks for sharing.

[@MispronouncedAdventures]

Each to there own on the Auxbeam lights . That is the reason I try and make the videos more generic wiring on how to install auxiliary lighting opposed to particular product. Personally I found that they are a fairly decent brand and I’ve had none fail on the testing I have given them

[@asaandthemarchharepart267]

No such thing as a boring Alex video, come on. Brilliant and interesting as always bud. Helps out big stile with ideas and how to fit them out easily and safely. Hope you're having a wonderful time exploring at the moment, pictures you have posted so far are brilliant and a bit scary (big female spiders haha) Safe Travels Alex 😊

[@MispronouncedAdventures]

Thanks for watching! That’s what I wanted to make a Video to show different ways to wire up any auxiliary lighting. Glad you’re enjoying images

[@leelendon1482]

hi Alex hope your well. looking at a rocker isolater switch to turn off the remote controller led to prevent a small draw like you have on the 3d printed housing. will this turn evrything off including the accessories attached to the switch panel ie fridge . how will i wire this as i cant find a 60amp switch

[@MispronouncedAdventures]

Hey, I am well thank you. So the switch I use ( which I think you’re referring to ) on the 3-D printer housing and at the front of the van is actually a switch for the “ACC” wire which is the signal which turns the entire control panel system ( all circuits ) on and off. This turns off all the accessories on the Switch panel. On my eight channel version, I’m not entirely sure how to turn off the back light ( only dim it via the app ) but I used to turn the whole system off when I’m in bed ( but I only have lights on it and not things like fridges ) Im sure have seen someone on the 12 channel version turn the back light off by holding some buttons on the control panel. But I don’t know how to do that. Not sure if that also works on my eight version.

[@leelendon1482]

Appreciate your time Alex in answering my question. Love your build and am learning about electrics right now .

[@ianpierce1888]

interesting use of relays, certainly helpful though. Did I miss the video on the bonnet mounted lights and where you sourced the brackets? Struggling to find that......

[@MispronouncedAdventures]

Apologies, just seen this comment. There’s no particular video on the bonnet mounts there made by Wheeliams but they featured quite a lot during the second Arctic series.

[@mikeswankie7274]

Great meeting you at Camp Quirky, this video inspired me to buy auxbeam lighting and the 800 controller. Quick question, how did you get them to flash to the music, many thanks Mike

[@MispronouncedAdventures]

Great to have me you as well! The 800 is a great unit, it’s not flashing to the music it’s just flashing in general. In settings, you can change each button type to be on/off, momentary or pulsed. The flashing was changing the lights to pulsed mode.

[@robertbrooke1289]

Hi. Do you mind me asking what size wire you used for you light bar. Cheers

[@mooneypaul]

very cool 😎

[@MispronouncedAdventures]

Cheers!

[@PoppysG4]

Love your channel! Can you send me the wiring diagram for the rock lights to the Auxbeam panel thru a relay with a switch?

[@MispronouncedAdventures]

Hey! Rock lights are just a normal pos and neg cable for power.

[@airpunkstudio8281]

Hi mate! I have a similar van. Can you let me know how/where you mounted the rock lights? Currently debating where to mount. Cheers

[@MispronouncedAdventures]

Mostly mounted with bolt or self tappers into the inside of the wheel arches or plastic trim under the van

[@airpunkstudio8281]

@@MispronouncedAdventures perfect many thanks.

Were you travelling through Basingstoke today? Swear I saw your Van on the A30 a few mins ago.

Indeed I was! Good spot

@@MispronouncedAdventures Glad i'm not going mad - said to my kids as we drove past, 'I swear that's the van I was just watching on youtube' (Doing a mk8 conversion myself). If your passing though any other times would be great to have a nose round the van and get some inspiration!?

[@_marcus_does_]

Hi Alex, did you import your auxbeam from the states?

[@MispronouncedAdventures]

No, the video was made working with Auxbeam. It was shipped to me direct from China and not a European distributor

[@abecoulter8550]

whats the victron thing you plugged into your Jackery

It’s a Victron ip22 230V AC to 12v Dc 30A power supply or battery charger

Can’t you just use your phone app instead of that relay etc?
