I agree that the one fluorescent fixture leaves a lot to be desired, in
the stock location in my Westfalia.

Led lighting is too direct, and expensive, and I wanted lighting up in
the upper berth also.

I was cruising Home Depot one fine day, and landed on the solution.

I found 9" battery powered fluorescent fixtures, that attach with
velcro, and also have a provision to be powered by a 110 converter.

They were only $9.00 per light, and I hung one in front of the rear over
hanging cabinet, and the other up on the bottom side of the pop-top.

In combination with the original fluorescent fixture, I couldn't believe
the light these lamps threw----and reasonably priced too.

And they are mobile---just tear them off the velcro, and they go where
you do, if the situation presents itself----

I'm not sure these light are cool, but they sure do work good.

Later,
