I cracked a tail light while washing the camper so it was a perfect time to upgrade to LEDs. As long as I was working back there I added backup lights. Trying to pull the backup light wire to the original fixtures was difficult so I went with separate backups a little lower. All the lights look very nice, supper bright, should help out for safety.
I bought 2 extra backup lights planning to install one on the divers side for “hook-ups” and the other in the front for connecting/disconnecting the TV. I plan to run the switches just inside the entry door( back of the table’s bench seat) for easy access. I am thinking of even running a third switch to the back-up lights as long as I’m running wire. When I’m done I’ll have LED utility lights for front, back, drivers side and we already have the LED motion detector porch light on the passenger side( door-side).
The porch light is new too, I put it in last winter and love it. I leave it on all the time and it gives us plenty light when we need it. Plus it has some smart features that I feel help with security, beyond the motion light. The light fixture has super bright colored LEDs that indicate state of use. If It’s dark the blue light flashes in a ready mode every 10sec, if its light outside(day time) a green LED flashes and if the house battery is low a red LED will flash(never seen it). These brightly flashing colored LEDs give me a sense of security, appearing to be part of some type of security alarm system.
My dad had the old version of this porch light(not LED) that would come on for up to 30sec then turn off to reset its self for several seconds an come back on if motion was detected. They didn’t love it, even found it dangerous(turning off while moving around outside), but they contacted the company and got a longer timer, maybe two minutes(I forget), they were happier. This NEWER version stays on until there is no motion detected then it goes 15/30/60sec before timing out, I went with 60sec. I love this light: I love the color of the light, I love the amount of light and I love the distance it detects motion and it doesn’t seem to pull many amps, oh ya and I love the brightly colored LED that flash.
Do I have to give a disclaimer, “I am in no way affiliated the manufacture of this porch light”
