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 have white LED lights with clear lenses for my porch lights. http://www.m4products.com/921-24-505...th-wedge-base/
My LED lights definitely attract the bugs. I think the amber lenses are a good idea, Padgett. Do you have a part number for those?

Thanks, TM Pilot. That's good to know. We haven't invested in new lights or bulbs yet so we probably won't start with the porch light anyway as we rarely use it.

The lens appears to be available at Command Electronics for $4.49 each plus $8-$10 S&H. Have to select the Amber Lens.

Does an amber lens reduce bugz ?

ps posted to the earlier thread first but belongs here.

pps my 2720 has four "porch" lights. One at either side of the awning, one on the left front lighting the tongue, and one above the street side shower.

It is much cheaper and easier to just purchase an amber bulb at an automotive store and keep the clear lens. That is what I did and works well.
