The eight-pod kit is another auxiliary-lighting purchase in my catalog. My actual roof-light project involved positioning fixtures around other equipment and cutting mounting plates to suit the layout.

The item in my kit
I bought Nilight Eight-Pod Green Cargo Lights as part of my camper van equipment.

Where it fits my build
I cut and drilled aluminum bracket pieces for the roof cameras and lights. The camera mounts needed additional holes and adjustments as I brought the assemblies together on the extrusion.
I sprayed the camera-mount pieces with black bedliner during the fabrication sequence. The coated brackets then formed part of the roof camera and light arrangements shown in the diary.

My build notes
The black finish was one stage within the mount fabrication. The holes and profile connections still determined where the pieces could sit, so the diary records the drilling and fitting alongside the coating.
The bracket shape, drilled holes and coating were separate parts of finishing the mount.
Alternative products
Two alternatives to compare
The six-pod set reduces the number of green light positions, while the RGB kit changes to selectable colors and app control.
Nilight Six-Pod Green Rock Lights
This kit contains six compact green LED pods with individual mounting points. The separate housings allow the lighting positions to be distributed around a vehicle.
