Exterior Storage Lights with Timer?

[GoGator]

After a week for storing one of my exterior compartment lights was on. I assume it was on all week. The compartment was loaded full so the switch probably got trigger by shifting cargo while driving. I need every bit of storage I have.

I rented a Cruise America couple years ago and one nice feature was the exterior cargo compartment lights had a switch that would time out. The light had a spring loaded lever not a toggle switch that sits in a fixed position.

Does anyone know makes/models of cargo lights that time out?

I've googled the hell out of this but can't find a thing.

Might consider just getting some stick up, motion activated battery powered lights. I have them in various compartments and closets, works great. Lots of choices on Amazon.

I just used plain old door jam switches. We have one large common storage area with many doors and I wired mine up so the new led lights come on when any single door is opened.

Wouldn't that need 120V?

This is an awesome little programmable timer that has up to 2 triggers, I have used them on several projects.

Cool!!!


I bought the one that's temperature triggered. But I'll have to add one of these to the stable of doohickeys I'm accumulating!

I have 2 of them in my Seneca, one I use when boondocking to turn toekick leds on for 3 minutes when the entry door is opened, makes it nice for grabbing snacks and drinks and the kids don’t leave the lights on. The other one is a timer for a water circulation system that has an air switch in the kitchen counter and when pressed, opens a solenoid and the pump runs the hot water for 40 seconds to get hot water to the kitchen faucet, it circulates it back to the fresh water tank and saves a lot of water when boondocking.
