Ever since we purchased our trailer, I have never been impressed with the exterior speaker quality. Also the blue LED lights in them were useless to me. I’d rather use a good Bluetooth speaker if I want music.
So I did some research for exterior lights to take their space. I needed something large enough to cover the existing screw holes. I also wanted an LED light that faced down a bit so I’m not lighting up my neighbors.
I eventually locating a product by Motion Guard. The lights were around $59 each, and were slightly larger than the screw holes that were there for the speakers.
Today I removed the old speakers, cleaned off all the silicone, and followed the steps to install the lights. They operate off low amperage DC. Took me a couple hours, but it wasn’t bad at all. I sealed the new lights with pro flex, which worked pretty well as long as you have a wet soapy finger to tool with.
The lights are plenty bright. I operate them from my outside switch in the entertainment center. I could wire another switch to that I suppose if I want to have a switch inside, but I’ll give this a try first.
These lights will stay continuously on, or activate with motion. They are plenty bright and do shine down, but also out a bit further than I hoped. I think they will be a great addition. Just info if anyone’s interested.
