Replaced my amber LED bulb with a 340 lumen white, it's bright enough for outdoor cooking at the rear of my camper.  Ron

Just copied that from where I had purchased it on Ebay.  Just search, there are several on there.  Ron

Does the base swivel?

So we're  back in Mexico (for a while now) and I tore apart the light the other day. After swapping in the new bulb it was obviously something else. The switch seemed obvious since there was power to it. Shorting around the switch lit up the light, so being on a remote beach in Baja I tore the switch apart and jimmied things around, jammed a piece of plastic inside it and now it seems to work. For now. 

 

I'm sure I'll end up replacing it, or bypassing the switch entirely. It would be nice to move it inside. Does anyone know where I can get switches like the ones FWC used in the panel near door, just above the floor? We don't have many options so we're only using one of the four places. I'd love to wire some other things into switches, and it would be nice to match the existing ones.

Call FWC service. They will sell you one to go into any empty spots. I bought one a year or so ago that snapped right into any empty slot.

From my experience, the porch light failure has to do with the switch.  I've still got some available, free with SAE to WTW members.

Definitely the switch. I'm in Mexico drifting South, but if I was someplace reliable I'd definitely send you an envelope. Thanks so much for the offer!

Porch light switch on Grandby puts out short burst of light, then nothing. Tested positive lead to switch and got juice ok. I didn't have any electrical contact cleaner and didn't want to spent $7+ and wait a few days for it. Just used cotton tip soaked with rubbing alcohol to clean to switch contact, and works fine now.
