New Reading Lights

We were tired of the puck lights over our bed that were as bright as a thousand suns, so I swapped them out for these blue/white LED lights that come standard on higher end travel trailers and fifth wheels. I may relocate them to the back of the headboard area next spring, but for now they look great and create a much more restful bedroom.

I replaced the bulbs in mine with LED's but we still did not like looking up into the BRIGHT light, even though it was on the headboard wall. I spend a lot of time reading in bed before sleep so I looked around and found a small LED clip-on lamp that is powered by ac. It clamps onto the small sideboard next to my side and is very versatile for getting the light just right. I have used it fir 4 years and have given up any thoughts of changing out the dc powered ones.

Got it from Lowes in the lighting section.

Here's a link to another thread on bedroom light mods.
I attached mine to the side of the bedroom wardrobes, and snaked the wires through the false bottom of the over-the-bed cabinets. As Mikey and Norty said above, it is much nicer to have the light shining on your book rather than in your face.

Dewey, nicely done! That's EXACTLY where I plan to migrate mine to in the spring. I'll reinstall the factory lights over the bed, where they'll go largely unused but will at least cover up the holes Jayco made in the paneling.

That's a good solution, Norty!
