That is what I was thinking...

Years and years and YEARS ago I was racing bicycles, guys used to drill out the various components on the bikes to make them lighter, failures were quite common.

I would say not a decorative light as it's like your awning lights. Come in different colors. As mentioned safety factor. Later RJD

And maybe the TT & 5W guys that wire there unites so the clearance lights stay on ??? I love dark @ night !!!

I really like the solar lanterns the I have been zip tying to our awning poles,,, very soft light but enough to show that there are poles there !!!
But not bright enough to bother anyone !!!

You missed the very soft part !!!

Very much unlike the RV park we were in this June where they have a street light about every 3rd campsite !!! Sure wish we would have had our window shades with us !!!

The state park in Baraga, Mi. have X-mas in July weekend and every pedestal is maxed out with lights. Just hope it's a cool night because the A/Cs don't have enough power to run them.
