I was sick of the poor quality light in the cargo area, so bought a 5m LED strip from Ebay.

I installed one strip around the rear cargo drawer, thanks to an idea from another fellow, on a 4x4 forum at 'work'.
I also decided to put strips down each side on the roof lining.
The dimmer switch has 3 switches to make it turn on and off, dim, flash etc etc and is mounted into the roof at the very back and out of the way.
Currently it's powered by the interior light source, but I plan to change that to the aux battery when I get a chance.
Much improved lighting and no longer need any lights at the back.
Another fellow has yellow LEDs and says it helps keep bugs away.
Here is mine

Nice lighting setup. I'll have to give it a go with the leftover leds that I bought for the boat.

Wow gotta love LEDs ,
Jurys out on the insect being attracted theory tried it bugs on versa light ,sorry same amount on LED torch we set up
They say yellow but yet to see any proof. they like the light{brightness} not the warmth of light. Happy to be proven wrong.
I only use led at camp btw
