2012 light fixtures
we have a 2012 Montana, the light fixture at the entry... three tulip type bulbs, are attracting bugs, which die at the base... how do I clean these?? how do you take them apart... the vacuum attachment won't get them all....

Put in LEDs - the light emitted doesn't attract insects. Seriously, we changed our orange porch light cover to a clear one when we changed to LEDs.

X3 Led's in ours and no more bug problem. We also switched to a motion detector light and that helps even more.

I''ve been thinking of replacing the stock light with the motion detector light as well. Hope that is working out well for you.

[the lights are inside the front door it's not an outside fixture ... we were gone and the light was out for 7 days and bugs found their way inside ....quote]Originally posted by snfexpress

Seriously, go to Michael & Kat's web site and buy LEDs. It'll solve your problems. We are in the process of replacing every light in our Montana with LEDs a few at a time. Thank you Michael & Kat for your wonderful LEDs. They are the best we have found and with the MOC discount all I can say is WOW.

If you don't want LEDs, remove the light fixture from the ceiling and turn it upside down and shake them out. Be sure power is off.

LED's
Michael and Kat prices and performance are the best. I've used a lot of others and will not go back as long as I can still get them from Michael&Kat
