Porch lights without the BUGS!

    A while back, a good friend and parts rep. was telling me that LED lights don't attract bugs! I love to leave the porch light on, but you have to do a mad dash into your trailer so the bugs don't get in.
    I decided I better try her theory (even though she has never led me wrong before!). I installed two LED clearance lights on the side of the tent trailer and wired them into a switch by the door. Not only did they let off the perfect amount of light and not drain my batteries down, we did not have one bug around the lights!!
    If you already have a porch light, you can change the bulb out to an LED bulb and try it for yourself.  If you want to make a little extra light, do what I did and add some LED marker lights.
    Dometic sells a LED light strip that runs off of a remote control, and it makes a lot of light, even multi-colors! We have a display at Stewart's RV if you want to see them in action.
    I will post pictures shortly, thanks!
