Porch Light
I have two of these as scare lights on the front of my trailer. They are really bright, in my mind, too bright for a porch light. If you want, PM me an email address and I will forward a photo that illustrates their intensity.
Agreed that I don't want too much light either.
Trying to find the right balance without buying five different fixtures. Sent Super Bright LED's a note inquiring as to how many lumens they recommend for a porch light.
PM sent.

“ I guess you didn't see where he said LIGHT POLLUTION IS NOT a problem…”
In OP’s opinion. Or loud music, screaming kids, huge campfires, motorcycles, parties etc. Ask one of his neighbors.

Because nothing is better than being at a dark sky area at a state or ACOE campground and having the folks around you lighting the whole place up like the Vegas strip. Its the greatest. SAD.

I am tired of the single bulb, low light output, of the porch light that came with my trailer. Put a LED in there a number of years ago, but it's still not bright enough.....or, more likely, my eyes simply need more light than they used to. Seldom have it on, but when on, I want to see. Bothering anyone with "light pollution" isn't an issue where I usually am
My buddies new trailer has lots of light, but I would rather not buy a new trailer just to get more light.
Any suggestions for a different fixture I can put out there?
Thanks,

Maybe you should, you can bundle it up with a class in how to avoid the urge to become a self appointed forum moderator.

I would just use a lantern. The porch light for me is on so ,I dont trip, or if I'm just sitting outside. Its not bright. But If I need more light , a lantern is easy. And adjustable for what I'm doing.

OP, that first option looks pretty decent. For $25 it’s cheap enough to try.
Otherwise, there are tons of LED vehicle lights that you could potentially use. Look for more of a flood beam than a driving light pencil type beam.
