Motion Sensor for Porch Light

Tabulating

Hello,

I was wondering if anyone has added a motion sensor for the porch light?  I assume there must be some type of 12V motion sensor somewhere on the internet.

We think this would be a very great addition to our camper.

Thanks in advance,

Bill

I purchased a pair of solar flood lights from Amazon that have different settings.  They are wedge shaped and have 2 screw holes.  I mounted pairs of small clear command hooks on both sides and the front so I can move them where I need them.

Just check Amazon for RV motion sensor light and you will find this.  You can mount it over the door or hang it off the handles of your TaB.  Cheap security lighting.

That’s similar to the pair I purchased.  Only thing, if you have an awning, you will need to move the light into the sun during the day to charge.  That’s why I used the command hooks

Thanks for the fast response.  How bright are these options?  We have the amber porch light from NuCamp and we like its limited intensity.  We just want it to turn on as we approach the camper so we can see to unlock the door.  

Is there a way to dim these?

Thanks again in advance,

Bill

I don’t think you can dim them.  Not at this price point anyways.  There may be some available that allow you to select light intensity.

I bought this one several years ago, it might be discontinued but I'm sure that you can find something similar. I attach to my trailer beside the door at lower than eye level so that it lights the step but doesn't shine in my eyes at night. I attach it to the trailer using 3M Dual Lock. I take it off when I'm on road.
