Lippert Components Step Lights: Smart, Safety-First Illumination for RV Entries
When the sun goes down at the campsite, your RV's entry steps become one of the most hazardous spots around the rig. Tripping hazards — from camping chairs to kids' toys — lurk in the shadows, and a dark stairway is an accident waiting to happen. Lippert Components, one of the most trusted names in the RV industry, tackles this problem head-on with a focused lineup of step lights engineered specifically for the demands of outdoor living.
The Motion-Activated RV Step Light
Lippert's flagship step light offering is the Motion-Activated RV Step Light (model 2022172335) — a battery-powered, wireless unit that brings together smart sensing technology, rugged construction, and genuinely tool-free installation. At its core, this light features two amber LED lights behind a diffusion panel that emit a soft, non-glaring glow — bright enough to safely navigate your steps without disturbing neighboring campers.
What sets this light apart is its dual-sensor intelligence. An integrated light sensor prevents activation during daylight hours, conserving battery life for when you actually need it. Once darkness falls, a motion sensor triggers illumination for 15 seconds whenever movement is detected nearby, then shuts off automatically to preserve power. This "set it and forget it" approach means you never have to fumble for a switch with your hands full of gear.
Built for the Outdoors, Installed in Minutes
Lippert designed this step light with the DIY RVer in mind. The housing is constructed from heavy-duty injection-molded plastic with an IP65 weatherproof rating, making it resistant to rain, dust, and the general rigors of campsite life. Installation requires zero cutting or drilling — the light attaches via two high-strength magnets directly to the underside of most metal step assemblies. For non-magnetic surfaces, an adhesive-backed metal plate is included in the box, providing a secure mount on virtually any step brand, including Lippert's own Solid Step®, Kwikee®, Tread Lite®, and Alumi-Tread® systems, as well as many competitor products.
Its compact form factor (approximately 6.75" × 1.75" × 1.75") also makes it easy to reposition around the campsite — cargo bays, awning posts, or interior storage areas are all fair game for this versatile light.
Integrated Lighting in Lippert's Tread Lite® Power Steps
Beyond the standalone step light, Lippert integrates LED step lighting directly into their Tread Lite® power step systems. These motorized steps automatically extend and retract with the RV door, and their built-in LED safety light illuminates automatically whenever the steps are deployed — ensuring visibility during night-time use without any separate product or installation required. It's a cohesive approach to RV entry safety that only a manufacturer who controls both the step and the lighting can deliver.
