The item in my kit

I bought Nilight Six-Pod Green Rock Lights as part of my camper van equipment.

The six-pod set is one of my auxiliary-lighting purchases. My roof-light diary records making custom brackets and deciding how the lights would sit beside the other roof 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.
