Lippert Components wireless motion-activated LED RV step light — IP65 weatherproof, magnetic mount, adhesive plate

Lippert's wireless motion-activated LED RV step light provides hands-free, low-profile illumination for RV steps, patios, and cargo areas without wiring or permanent installation.

Dark entryways and campsite pathways increase the chance of trips and scrapes; this compact, battery-powered step light solves that by delivering targeted light only when you need it. Built from injection-molded plastic with an IP65 rating, the unit resists wind-driven rain and dust while the built-in motion and ambient light sensors conserve battery life. Two strong magnets make mounting fast and non-invasive, and an included adhesive-backed metal plate gives you a secure option for non-magnetic surfaces.

How does the motion activation work and when will the light turn on?

The Lippert step light combines a passive motion detector with a dusk sensor to ensure the lamp activates only when it’s dark and movement is detected. After sensing motion, the light stays on for about 15 seconds and then switches off if there's no further activity, preserving battery life.

• Motion sensor triggers illumination for approximately 15 seconds
• Ambient light sensor prevents activation in daytime
• Simple ON/OFF power switch for manual control
• Works automatically in the ON position without wiring

Will it hold up outdoors and on RV steps?

The housing is made from heavy-duty injection-molded plastic and carries an IP65 weatherproof rating, so it withstands rain and blowing dust typically encountered at campsites. Its low-profile design fits neatly under steps or inside storage compartments without protruding parts that catch gear or clothing.

• IP65 rating: protection against water spray and dust ingress
• Durable, impact-resistant plastic construction
• Compact form factor suited for under-step mounting
• No exposed wiring to corrode in outdoor conditions

How do I mount the light on my RV or non-magnetic surface?

Mounting is flexible: two high-strength magnets secure the light to steel or magnetic surfaces with no drilling, while the included adhesive-backed metal plate lets you affix the light to fiberglass, aluminum, or composite steps. The magnets also allow quick removal so you can carry the light around camp when needed.

• Two built-in high-strength magnets for fast attachment
• Adhesive-backed metal plate for non-magnetic surfaces
• Removable design enables portable use as a handheld light
• No cutting, drilling, or electrical work required

What about power, battery life, and maintenance?

The unit runs on AA batteries (not included) and is designed to minimize energy use by only activating at night and when motion is detected. Routine upkeep is limited to occasional battery changes and keeping the sensor lens clean for reliable operation.

• Powered by two AA batteries (sold separately)
• Light sensor and motion-triggered runtime reduce battery drain
• Simple ON/OFF switch for manual shutdown when desired
• Low maintenance: replace batteries and wipe lens as needed

Who is this for? The Lippert Wireless Motion-Activated LED RV Step Light is ideal for RV owners, campers, and outdoor enthusiasts who want a no-fuss, temporary lighting solution for steps, patios, storage bays, and walkways. It suits anyone seeking an easy-to-install, weatherproof light that avoids permanent wiring—especially renters, seasonal campers, and owners of fiberglass or aluminum RV exteriors who prefer a non-invasive mounting option.
