Motion-Sensing LED Lights

[Hilldweller]

These little mag-mount motion-sensing lights are at Costco --- 2 of them for $18. I picked up 4 and pop them on the trailer once I'm at the campsite.
Just start walking toward the trailer at night and they light up; don't have to fumble with the flashlight for simple maneuvering.
Also have a light sensor so they don't burn through batteries.
Neat.

They've also reduced the price on the Leatherman flashlight (Cree 3 LED bulb) to $20 ---- very slick little light.

I already have the sylvania puck lights underneath my rtt, those would be a good addition. Thanks for posting!

how bright are they? compared to say, a 40 watt, 60w or 80w bulb?

10W at the most

10W at the most

That's about right; with a decent color for navigating around the trailer.
They're not for doing heavy work --- just for getting around. Stick them in strategic locations and avoid the need to use flashlights in the general campsite area.
Would also be a neat little security feature for when something wanders into camp in the middle of the night.

Sometimes they're only available at a few stores... ...bummer.
Not on their website either.

Looks like the same light is being sold by Amazon.com for $12.95 a piece.

Yup.
There are a few others that I've seen --- as much as $25 a pop. That's why I was excited about the Costco offer.
If they don't sell well here, I'll wait for them to come down in price and grab a bunch. I'll bring them out to Honu in April when we go to Moab --- you're still thinking of Moab, aren't you Honu?

Another one

Here's one at harbor freight that uses a magnetic switch to turn on. These would work well inside a trailer box, and they're only $4.99.
