Smart Light 1000 Motion sensor light

I would like to install two of these. One in the front to replace the scare light and one at the rear door to replace the amber/red? light which of course is a lot smaller light. Is there a reason the rear light in a different color?

  • News to me. I never know I was only suppose to use the scare light sparingly. Been know to leave mine on all night.
  • What's REALLY nice about those lights is that when in motion detection mode it will flash a green light every couple of seconds IF the house batteries are up to voltage. If your house batteries are low the light will flash red.
    Great for boondocking.
  • Place lights subject to insects well away from the area you intend to light. Narrow beam spot. From the school of hard knocks.
  • The "scare" light is supposed to be used sparingly when extra light is necessary. Usually with a toy hauler, you'll want to be working on bike repairs from the days ride and in preparation for the next day's adventure. You need all the light you can get. The smaller light is a porch light used mainly to prevent falls when entering/exiting the coach. Yellow lights attract less bugs than white ones.....Dennis
  • It's as bright as the lamp you install. I have a 450 lumen LED and it's probably too bright
  • Installed one of these last year, and really like it. However I have not altered the factory settings, and with awning rolled, it is very sensetive to any motion. it is not overly bright, but easy as bright as the former porch light. Does not seem to attract bugs either. At some campgrounds, we do turn it off, as it can be very disturbing to others in the area. In short, it works well, we like outs.
  • Don't think I would want a scare light coming on whenever a critter came by @ night. Where I camp when it is dark I exit with a light and sidearm. Too any critters around, big ones too.
