Whether sprayhood or cake stand: the Klettled provides illumination
The waterproof Klettled can be easily attached to the sprayhood or cake stand and ensures good illumination of the cockpit

There are various solutions for illuminating the cockpit, from classic paraffin lamps to battery-powered camping lanterns. The choice is usually between atmospheric and dim or uncomfortable and bright and easy to read. The Klettled waterproof LED strip from Cirnapro can provide a remedy. The 69 centimetre long strip is sewn into a fabric cover and has Velcro on the back. If a matching counterpart is sewn to the frame pocket of the sprayhood or cake stand, for example, the lighting can be easily attached if required.

During the day, simply roll up the strip and store it in the box provided. Variants with 7 and 12 watts are available, the connection is made via a four metre long cable with a plug for the cigarette lighter. A dimmer can also be connected via waterproof couplings. The price: from 60 euros, the dimmer costs 45 euros.
