Porch light


Recommended Posts

If you're going to go to the extent of finding and paying for a new lens, you might want to consider upgrading to an LED motion-sensing fixture. I installed this one and am quite happy with it. Easy install.

Stay away from the Star Light Smart Motion LED Light as the motion lens covers do not hold up to the sun. The company will always send you new covers but they are a pain to install. I finally switched to the model listed in the previous post but in black. No problems with that one.

You will love the motion LED porch lights.

You may want to consider this one. The owner of the company Gregg is a close friend of mine. He has been a long time supporter of Monaco coach owners and owns a Sig. The light he sells he invented himself. It puts out no RF's so wont interfere with remotes and is the brightest porch light on the market. He stands behind his product. Gregg and Vivian are great people and I am sure many of you have met them in the past.

Another vote here for Greg Wilson's lights.  I bought the motion light to start with but found it didn't stay on long enough for me.  I swapped it out for "Bug-Guard" model and love it.  Turn it on once and you'll get a white light, cycle power and it comes on yellow.  Cycle the power again to get it back to white light.  It's the brightest porch light I've seen for RVs.  Buy it on Greg's website https://rvledlites.com/product/bg520b-a/# and get the best price except for in the big tent at Quartzsite - if he's there next January.  I highly recommend Greg's products. 

I've also found the cheap ($5.50) solar motion lights found in the auto section of Dollar General to be great stick-ons for wherever you want a little light at night.  They glow all night and brighten up when you walk by for 15-20 seconds.  Be careful not to buy the same light in the "as seen on TV" section where it sells for over $13.  I put one of these on the back so I don't trip over the towbar and one over the wet compartment in case I have to empty a tank after dark.  They come with 3-M type double face tape making them easy to apply.  I put them on windows whenever possible.  They can be popped back off without too much effort but I've never had one come off without tugging on it.  I keep a couple extra handy.  The best price on the rechargeable battery I could find was $2.50 so at $5.50 for this light I figure it's a bargain.

I used rolls like this inside my porch light and all the fluorescents inside the coach.   I glued the porch light lens on after putting the leds in it, so no good pic of it.
