LED porch light question

For reference a regular incandescent 921 bulb is 144 lumen. Also popular for a porch light is the 1141 bulb which is 400! So, it depends what you're looking for.

100-150 lumen would be a nice glow to illuminate the entry way. If you want enough to read by and have a poker party on your front porch, 200-250 lumens minimum would be better.

I used the starlight revolution on my old popup, and the stick on panel type on my current trailer. Both worked well. The starlight was more of a drop-in and also was behind an amber lens which I liked.

Don't rule out multiple lights. I think multiple 100-lumen lights would be a good option to give lots of flexibility.

One thing I forgot to mention about the Starlight Revolution LED bulb is that it can be rotated several degrees up and down to direct the light where you want it.
I have mine tilted down some.

Many people don't realize that the bulb is capable of tilting.

If bugs are a problem where you live/camp go Amber. I converted to Amber LED. With white light bugs would find their way inside when open/close the door. Amber nearly eliminated the problem. When camped next to white lighted campers I have zero bugs at my doorstep.

It all depends on what you want from your porch light. I wanted something I could leave on when boondocking that wouldn't drain the battery but would show me where the MH is and let me find the steps and the lock.

This is what I did:
Warm White 21 LED Board with Wedge Style Plug & Bayonet Adapter

As bright or brighter and easy install.

X2 on the STAR BRIGHT SL1000 motion sensor porch light... This is nice and bright and comes on when someone walks up into the patio/awning area...

I put the same one on as Bamcote. Works great. Macktee

My Starlight motion sensing porch light is the older version that did not come with the Revolution 200 LED bulbs like the new ones do, so so I got a Revolution 200 LED bulb from them. It is plenty bright enough but I wouldn't want one with less lumens.

See STARLIGHT

John02.. Its bright enough.......200 lumens.
