Something cool you can do with them if you have a westy (or maybe any Vanagon, I haven't tried this in my Carat). I put two in the back over the bunk shining straight down. These are ideal for reading when camping, expecially if you tend to read with your head near the back bunk. When you open the back hatch at night, the whole rear can be illuminated by touching those two lenses--light everywhere. Now pop the engine hatch and voila... enough light to do just about anything on top of the engine. No hands, no props.

I also put one on the inside pantry door so that it shines into both the upper and lower shelves. The light spreads enough to see everywhere, and the light scans the interior of the pantry as the door angle is changed.

I'm thinking about a few more for upstairs and downstairs.

I've never seen such a useful light. You can also unstick them and move them.
