Aldi Camping Lights
« on: February 20, 2016, 10:14:34 AM »
Are on special at the moment. $149. I grabbed a set this morning. I know there are threads http://www.myswag.org/index.php?topic=38821.0 and http://www.myswag.org/index.php?topic=47067.0, but thought I'd post some pics and my initial impression.

They seem well packed and when unboxed actually come in a nice enough case.

Everything seem's to work as it should. I've never owned any LEDs before, but actually bothered to read the instructions and they're very much plug-n-play. Simple. The dimmers aren't waterproof but the rest is so be careful where you place them if leaving out overnight. They'll be setup under our tarp so I don't think we'll have an issue.

They're 12/240v and come with an adapter for 240v.

I connected up one of the strips and turned it on. Nice dim light when at minimum and BRIGHT when at maximum. And there are four of these! We'll be lit up like a christmas tree :-)

I suppose now I also have an excuse to investigate a solar setup as well  ;D

Warranty is for 3 years. If anyone has any questions, fire away.

Looks great.  Thanks for the review. Love most aldi stuff but have learnt the hard way to always photograph receipts on my phone.

I bought a set about 18mnths ago i guess but dont think they had a 240V adapter which i wouldnt use anyway, they do throw out some good light and there are enough leads to spread them out around the camper in and out.

I picked up a set as well and i am very happy i didn't buy a set at the camping show a few weeks back as the Aldi ones are cheaper have a longer warranty and seem brigher than the ones at the show.

They look almost identical to the Korr lights, even the box, the cables and packaging. I wonder if they use the same manufacturer or if Aldi have copied Korr or done it under licence?

My Korr kit was 3 bars from $200 it think. It had 2 switches and 1 dimmer. I bought an orange bar recently too and found that nice late at night.

They are a re-branded Korr kit so if you need extra components, Korr sell them separately.
