What's up everybody It's AJ with etrailer.com. Today we're gonna be checking out this MORyde LED light strip for RV steps. So it's gonna have a magnet here on the back with a bracket, that you're gonna attach to the bottom steps. So this one, you get two of them in the back. I got in my hand here, I'll turn this off. We've got the one here on the bottom step and that's going to be there.
That's there for if you're using your camper at night time, you can see that bottom step. That way you don't slam your shin right there. When you're going to step up, you can easily see that step up and get in there. Let's check it out. Take a look under here under our bottom step.
This is where we mounted the bracket, and it's where our light is. We got 10 LEDs here, five on each side. We've got the motion sensor here in the middle. It's really bright. We have the light on here in the bay.
You can see it pretty fine with the lights on. So it's going to be even brighter when we turn the lights off and now I can take it and turn it off and show you. You just unclip it like that. You got the magnet strips here on the back of that bracket or on the front of that bracket, excuse me. And you can just easily detach that.
That way if you need to replace the triple A batteries, it takes four triple A batteries per light. And so you can easily just put those here in this part, and then you can replace them like that, close it back up. I like that the end doesn't come disconnected. It's attached there. So you don't have to worry about pushing out. If you set that aside and lose it, that it'd be exposed all the time. It doesn't work like that. So I like that. And then you got, because of this portion here, you can just attach it to that magnet underneath the step. This is with the lights off in our bay. You can easily see underneath the step. You can see my boot there. I'm not going to be able to miss that step. Now with all that light coming down on there, I'm pretty impressed with how bright it is. I really like it. I think that's going to help us out a whole bunch on just visibility when you're climbing up the steps. Now we're going to test the auto settings. So you can either turn it on or put it on auto, that way it detects when there's motion nearby, and will shut off during the day. So you don't have to worry about wasting battery. So it's on auto. Now I can just put my foot there, it turns the light on. Just like that. Now our lights still on auto mode. So we want to make sure it doesn't turn on during the day. Cause it is underneath the step there could be shadows, like how good is that motion sensor So I'm waving my foot right in front of it. The lights not popping on at all. So you can be rest assured that the lights not gonna go on during the day and waste any of your batteries. Overall, I was really impressed with the light. You know, there we're some things that I was a little iffy about, like the motion types, or like how does well does that really work And can it really detect if it's daytime or not But seeing underneath that step, and moving my foot in front of it, it not turning on makes me a little bit easier, or I dunno, not as mad about it using four triple A batteries. I'm like, okay, well these are going to last because it's only gonna turn on when I'm near the step, and only stays on for a little bit before it shuts back off. One other thing about it is it's not waterproof, but again, it's underneath these big steps. I don't think water is really going to get to it. I don't think that's really going to be a problem. It's worth it. Not to hit my shin on that bottom step. Also really easy to install and they give you the bracket and the hardware. You just need a screwdriver, check out how we did it. Now we're looking under here on the bottom step and that's what we're going to attach our bracket to add our light. So we just come under here, and I need the step right in the middle. There's going to be this channel, kind of point out with my hand. Now you're going to take the screw and put it through the bracket. And you're just going to screw in to that open channel. It sounds a little weird, but the screw bites in there really easily, you see I'm just using a screwdriver. It goes right up in there and holds it just fine. So now with that in place, I'm going to add that other one and tighten it down as well. Now we'll go ahead and peel back the backing on our magnets and now it's going to stick to this plate. So I'm just going to get it lined up The best I can. Set in place. Make sure you push on it. Get it nice and stuck on there before you test your light. And there we go. So, it was really that easy to get that installed. We got that bracket in place. Now the lights there, it's bright, even with all the lights on, you can see everything. Now, if you had four steps, you could go ahead and add your second light right now. Since we only have three steps, we have all these mechanisms, we got the handle in the way here. And then the release mechanism on top. We're not going to go add another light to it, but we're still gonna be able to see that first step in the dark. And that does it. Thanks for hanging out and I hope this helped..

Keep your RV steps illuminated all evening or set them to activate when you approach your camper. Magnetic brackets with LED lights mount beneath your step and quickly detach to use as a flashlight.These lights are worth every cent I paid for them from a safety perspective. They illuminate the steps going into my travel trailer greatly.
Love the lights have had problems with one and etrailer sent me a new light then the other light when i replaced the batteries quite working.
These are perfect just bright enough to light up the stairs with it being over powering. Thinking about getting a few more to pit under the pantry shelves.
Easy to mount. Lights are really bright!

Lights are working out great. Great safety feature for us at night.
I don't have them installed on my camper steps yet. I did take one out of the package and looked it over. I have it working in our utility room for a walk-in light. Works good, nice and bright. Anxious to get them installed on our camper steps. I like the feature that they shut off after no movement. No lights, no bugs. I also like the addition bracket that comes with the light for mounting. Not all steps are created the same. Definitely would recommend this product.
Kept falling off and the battery compartment finally quit staying closed so batteries were always falling out

Thats annoying! It looks like you arent the only one having these issues. Part # ILL85CB would be a good alternative. They are surface mounted so you wouldnt have to worry about them randomly coming off. Another plus is that they hardwire in, last a long time, and you wouldnt have to worry about batteries. One thing to keep in mind is if you do go with the Optronics light, hardware to mount them isnt included and would need to be sourced at a hardware store or with what you may have on hand already.
The ease of installation was a bonus for a product the fully met my expectations. The motion activated lights provide plenty of illumination to safely climb my fifth wheel entry stairs in the dark.
They would not stay on the steps and we no longer have them!
Got one pair for a gift and kept 2 for our rv. One of ours works good and the other one looses contact with the battery lid and doesn’t work. Tried taping the lid on better and worked again for a few a few days.

These lights do have a limited one-year warranty. I am happy to send warranty instructions if you want to receive them.
Worked great at first, but now the battery latch doesn't hold the batteries in.

I see this is a common issue. This item is still under a one year limited warranty. I will email you their warranty information.
Everything came and installation was ea sy
These led lights were very easy to install. You can leave the lights on or by motion activated. They magnetically attach to angel bracket you attach to the bottom of your steps. I remove mine when in transit and reinstall at my next destination. E trailer has great products at a great price.
I added this to my Solid Step and it works as intended. My Mom has Parkinson's and this helps her enter the RV. I leave it in while traveling.
Just received and haven’t had time to install. Overall pleased with promptness of order. As always good service from Etrailer

The lights work well. The only problem I have is the one I put on second step from bottom gets wet and quits working during rain. Needs better waterproofing.
Received 2 of our products today, came in very quickly. Looking forward to installing them on our camper. Photo to be sent at a later time thank you Paula for your help.
Not very good. Didn’t work very good on my steps
Magnets not powerful enough to hold during travel. I hung one of them with cable ties in my front basement compartment and one in my truck tool box instead for extra lighting.
Totally awesome. Exactly as advertised. Easy to install, no drilling required. Bright and responsive.
The package was already opened and damaged. I packed the item back up in the damaged box and called in for an RMA. The rep demanded that I unpack this large item to take pics of the damage. I did protest this request but did comply. I sent the pics to the rep and called twice today without a return call. So far I am not at all pleases with etrailer’s customer service.

I understand why you would be upset and I will have our customer service team contact you as soon as possible.
Product works as advertised. Excellent service by etrailer.
The lights work very well, as advertised. The installation of the mounting plat was easily attached.
The only down-side to this product, is occasionally, the motions sensor cover falls off. However, with a little super-glue it went right back and and continues to work great!
these are not magnetic at all, and the cheap tape they provide doesnt stick that well I had to use additional VHB tape, and dont put these on the lower step, when you drive they will come on at night and wear out the batteries over priced for what you get and not that waterproof will probably fall off as i have automatic steps, they do fit but you have better cheaper options with motion lights..

I will have our Customer Service team reach out to you. The light has a 1 year warranty. As long your steps are steel then the light will stick magnetically.
Battery life short, motion sensor not always working. Plastic battery compartment door flimsy.
Bought two pair a year ago, only one of the four still working.
Lights very easy and quick to install. Motion sensor works as you walk up to the steps.
I like the lights and they're super easy to install in a few minutes. The only issue is when used in conjunction with MORryde's Prest-O-Fit stair rugs, the motion detection isn't activated since the sensor is partially blocked by the stair rug.

Love having these lights to illuminate my steps as I am entering or exiting my travel trailer. From a safety perspective they are a must have!
