Review on πŸ’‘ Efficiently Illuminate Your Porch with Fasteners Unlimited 12V Command Incandescent Star Porch Light with Switch by Telly Roden

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Precise lenses fit our camper, we also use LED bulbs.

I have a Viking RV. We hit a big bump and an amber lens emerged from our outside door light (we didn't know that at the time). I've checked out a few printed dealer catalogs and this seems like a pretty standard part for most campers. It was cheaper to order the whole world through Amazon than just a lens from the catalog. It was an exact match. We have replaced all light bulbs in the camper with LED bulbs. In case you're wondering, this flashlight uses a T10 bulb. I personally find that "194 168 501 T10 9 5050-SMD Warm White LED Side Parking Tail Lamps" are the most similar to the original lamps (they have 9 warm 5050 SMD LEDs). Looking at the new amber lenses and LED bulb, it's hard for me to tell what happened to the original lens and bulb. The 5 LED lights also work well if you want to put less light out - enough to find a camper but not enough for stargazing. But the 5 LED version works well for license plate light and dim light for RV interior when you don't want to wake everyone up. There is also a version with 13 LEDs, which is very bright. After the kids turned on the parking lights in the car and drained the battery, I replaced all the car bulbs with LEDs. If the emergency light stays on now, the battery is not empty. I couldn't find the 9 LED version at Revain so I had to order it from ebay where they usually have more stuff like these obscure LED bulbs. My first choice is Amazon, I'm the main supplier but some things just aren't on Amazon. But I like LED bulbs, yes they save energy and battery life but mostly because they don't get hot. Original bulbs tend to melt things and burn you up.
