Brighter porch light

I installed one of these seeral years ago. Very bright, easy replacement, works very well.

It's not the wattage it's the Lumens! You might want to look at Camping World to try to find a bulb that fits the fixture and that has the highest lumen rating.

Check out the Hawk fixture. Really bright, but not big and ugly.

I also have this light and like it a lot.
However, if the OP just wants a brighter bulb there is a variety of LED's available from many sources cheaper then C.W. The usual turn signal bulb is a #1141 or a brighter #1156. To match the 1156 brightness I suggest a bulb with at least 27 LEDs minimum in a bright white, not warm white. There are bulbs with 50 LEDs that should be really bright without the fear of melting the lender as LEDs are much cooler in operation. Check out eBay or Amazon.

Only problem with higher wattage and brighter bulbs is the heat they produce. I anve see a number of plastic light fixtures that were partially melted by excessive heat from the bulb. I also recommend a LED bulb that will fit, with the most LED that you can get.

A stab in the dark. i got one of those type leds that have a connector that fits in the 12 volt socket and a board with the leds on it. Perfect brighter, whiter porch light with no heat behind the lens. Went with a clear lens also. Stuck the board in there with s glob of caulk.

I too have the STARLIGHT SL-1000 LED light with the built in motion detector... Kinda neat to come ON when engaged and light up the patio area before you get there... Also great to turn ON after you go to bed alerting you someone or something has crossed the patio area in the dark...



Comes in WHITE or BLACK housing... AMAZON has it listed this date for $45...

It's not the fixture it's the LED you install in it. The best and brightest LED I've seen for this service is the Starlights Revolution line. Install one of these with an Amber lens and you will have no more complaints.

As much as I like my Starlights fixture, I would recommend you look at the RV LED Lites fixtures. Greg Wilson started Starlites many years ago and designed all their fixtures and most of the purpose built LEDs like the Revolution. He sold the company a few years ago and started RV LED Lites and has continued on with a whole new line of products including improved external fixtures. I'm sure he'll be in Quartzsite again this year if you want to go listen to him talk about his products. Greg is a design engineer not just a resale vendor. This is HIS stuff..

Thanks,everyone. I'm surprised that I can't find a fixture with 2 bulbs. But, in all, some great suggestions!

Jeff,

Thanks for the tip about RV LED Lites. He has what looks like the perfect solution. It's a porch light with dual amber/white operation (controlled somehow by the wall switch) with a REALLY bright 520 lumen white light when needed and a 220 lumen amber light for bugs. I think I'm going to order one of these. I'll report back to everyone how it works.
