Patio Light Switch

Padgett · 07-05-2014, 09:45 AM

My '06 has a black rocker switch on each of the patio lights. I need to replace one. Was at a local Caamping World yesterday and all of the rockers they had were about 1/4" too long. Does anyone know what the correct switch is ? (Amazon URL would be nice).

Anyone ? I now have a rocker switch from Camping World that is too big, and a "mini" from Amazon that is too small. What do I need that is "just right" ?

Thank you did not think to search for porch light, always saw as patio light.

New part number is Replacement Switch & Boot (SKU: K-0042)

Are the amber lenses any good against bugz ?

I would think an amber lens will squish a bug just as well as a clear lens.

Somewhere I read that LEDs don't attract bugs, so if you used one that might work.

I am curious, did you call Command to see if they have a replacement switch without the boot? If not available, do they have a part number to reference a replacement switch? When I dealt with them in 2009 it was through a phone call - not through an online catalog.

Yes, I have noticed a big difference in the number of bugs loitering near the porch light. During our winter stay in AZ I switch out the amber lens for the clear as there are no bugs. But summers here require something to mitigate the myriad of flying insects in our neck of the woods.

anyrvparts.com has the amber lens for $3.69 + $6-7 shipping. http://www.anyrvparts.com/ProductDet...13111747477.09
Ordered two. Great idea, Padgett!

Edit: Installed amber lens on both exterior porch lights (door side of TM). Tested tonight for effectiveness. LED with clear lens attracted lots of bugs & moths. Significant reduction using LED with amber lens. Great mod!
