We want to replace some of our interior lighting, with more up-to-date, attractive fixtures. Does anyone have a source for RV interior lighting fixtures at a reasonable price?? Particular looking for dining room over dinette, and bath.

E-bay and Amazon are good sources, With Amazon if you have Chrome use the HONEY add on.

Marine stores carry a wide variety of 12 volt fixtures but tend to be pricey.

You can also go to LED stores.. I do suggest LED lighting.. To give you an example.

Years ago I bought a Track Light system.... Well it used 20 watt Halogen "Landscape" type spots.. I eventually replaced 'em with 5 Watt Florcesent which were not quite as bright.. I just replaced one of those which burned out (Been over a decade) with a 4 Watt LED... WOW, Bright.. It is.

I've also converted one of my Thin-Light Fluorescents to LED (Actually 2) and will do the other two on a BOB bases (Burned Out Bulb).

And most of the other fixtures to LED also on a BOB basis.

But I've not changed the fixtures.
Home was where I park it. but alas the.

Thanks to everyone for the ideas. Just haven't seen anything that strikes my fancy yet, but haven't given up. BTW, I did another lighting upgrade that worked very well, to eliminate the blazing hot fixture that was there. Here is a link to the photo album that shows it all. Enjoy!

I always blamed it on other people I had to deal with and watching the news!

"can actually cause depression"

So that's it! LED and CFL lighting!

4 whopping cylinders on Toyota RV's. Talk about great getting good MPG. Also I have a very light foot on the pedal. I followed some MPG advice on Livingpress.com and I now get 22 MPG! Not bad for a home on wheels.

Can't find any pictures, I will post some tomorrow. I want to replace the entire fixture. Most of the ones for home use are much bigger than what is needed in the MH.

Just the bulbs or are you looking for completely new fixtures? Where are these and what do you have now?
What I post is my 2 cents and nothing more. Please don't read anything into my post that's not there. If you disagree, that's OK.
Can't we all just get along?

I've seen 12 volt light bulbs that screw into regular light bulb sockets. There may even be LED's online somewhere. If you used those you could use any 120 volt fixture you wanted to just by wiring it up to 12 volts.

I've bought a bunch of them on Fleabay. We saw all the same ones at the RV show.
