The idea of the light was to spread a good amount of light in the area outside of the door. The only reason I am worrying about it now is I am doing the inside wiring and trying to cover all my bases. I figured out that there was no available hot wire in the door. I have already bought a light a 400 lumin exterior LED flood light from Camping World. It is an ITC brand. When I ordered it I planned on putting it above the door without really checking it out good. Well, that want work out. There is a good flat place on the door and if I place it in the far right side it will still give good light in open position.
I may have just had an epiphany; if I bring a paired wire out of the door frame, allow a loop of the wire slightly longer than the length to close the door and run it into the edge of the door in the closed position. It should be straight when closed and just drop down and hide beside the van when opened.
An improvement to that would be a take-up reel, maybe 4" in diameter on the inside of the door. But I don't have time to invent that now.
