Review on Leisure LED RV Exterior Porch Utility Light - 12v 280 Lumen Lighting Fixture. Replacement Lighting for RVs, Trailers, Campers, 5th Wheels. Black Base, Clear and Amber Lens Included (Black, Pack of 1) by Adam Taylor

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Good replacement with improvements.

First of all, this light is many times brighter than the old lantern on the porch of my trailer! That's great! The reason for the 3 stars is that once it becomes available it will flow unchanged. The mounting flange is a rigid edge with no flat boss, making it impossible to seal it to the wall with butyl tape. The lenses don't snap tightly, and while they're unlikely to fall out on the road, they're another source of rainwater getting into the mount and possibly the RV. To solve this problem I used Eternabond double sided tape, double turned on the mounting edge on the camper side and taped it around the light. For the gap between the lens and mount, I took a small piece of Eternabond double-sided tape, twisted it into a very thin thread between my hands, and then inserted it into the gap. I won't be able to easily switch lenses but I used an amber lens which is quite bright and if I used a white lens the bugs it would attract would be a problem anyway.

Pros
  • Nice thing
Cons
  • Okay for the most part, but...
