Drivetech 4x4 DT-5SMD 12V Telescopic Camping Light 3.8m White and Amber Dimmable

$278

Product features

A light on the awning leaves half the camp in shadow. The Drivetech 4x4 DT-5SMD lifts five LED plates up to 3.8m on a stainless telescopic pole, lighting the whole site from above in white or amber.

A control box on the 10m lead switches colour and dims the output from the ground, so the pole never has to come down to make a change.

Problems it solves

  • Moths and mosquitoes swarming the table. Switch to amber, which draws fewer insects than white.
  • Glare once dinner is over. Dimming runs smoothly from full brightness to a soft glow.
  • Rain on an exposed light. The DT-5SMD is IP67 rated for dust and water.
