Stop fumbling for a flashlight every time you step in or out after dark. The Lippert 08-6211 snaps onto your RV steps with a strong magnet -- or mounts to aluminum and fiberglass with the included adhesive metal plate -- and turns on automatically the moment it detects movement. Two amber LEDs behind a diffusion panel cast a soft, glare-free glow right where your foot lands. No wiring, no drilling, no electrician required.
Trips and falls on RV steps are one of the most common campsite injuries -- and they happen most often in low-light conditions. The Lippert 08-6211 puts reliable illumination exactly where it counts: on the step itself, activated the instant someone approaches, without drawing a single wire from your rig's 12V system.
The built-in photocell sensor keeps the light off during daylight hours, so battery power is reserved for when it actually matters. Once triggered by motion, the light stays on for 15 seconds -- long enough to safely make every step -- then shuts off automatically to extend battery life.
Strong integrated magnets snap directly to the underside of steel RV steps. No tools, no hardware, no holes. Detach in seconds to use as a handheld flashlight.
Two amber LEDs paired with a frosted diffusion panel produce a soft, wide-angle glow. Bright enough to see clearly, gentle enough not to blind you at 2 a.m.
PIR motion sensor activates the light when movement is detected and turns it off after 15 seconds automatically. Daylight sensor prevents unnecessary daytime activation.
Sealed against dust ingress and low-pressure water jets. Rated for year-round outdoor exposure including rain, road spray, and campsite humidity.
Most RV entry steps are steel -- the magnet holds instantly with no prep work. For aluminum steps, composite skirting, fiberglass bays, or any non-magnetic surface, Lippert includes an adhesive-backed metal plate that bonds to the surface and gives the magnet a secure grip. No drilling, no screws, and no permanent modification to your rig.
The removable design also means this light doubles as a portable flashlight. Pull it off the step to check a tire, inspect a hookup connection, or navigate a dark campsite loop. Then snap it back into place before you turn in for the night.
The 08-6211 runs on 6 AA batteries (not included). Lippert rates the battery lifecycle at approximately 43 hours of cumulative on-time. Because the light only activates at night and only when motion is detected -- typically 15-second bursts -- real-world battery life in typical RV use will span many camping trips before a change is needed. Stock a spare set of AAs in your rig and you'll rarely be caught short.
The housing is heavy-duty injection-molded plastic designed to handle UV exposure, road vibration, and weather without cracking or fading. The IP65 rating confirms it is fully dust-tight and protected against water jets from any direction -- so a rainstorm or a quick rinse during campsite cleanup won't affect performance.
