How to Update a RV Interior Lighting?

We had two main issues with the light fixtures that came with our RV:

1. They were boring and didn’t have much going for them in the style department.
2. The bulbs weren’t LED, meaning they were total energy sucks AND they would get really hot when left on for a while. We even found some burn marks in the ceiling after removing some of the light fixtures. Yikes, now that’s scary.

The basic understanding I have is that RV’s can sometimes include two types of lights:

1. 120v –  these lights only work with a generator or when plugged into shore power and is similar to most sticks and bricks homes.
2. 12v – these lights run off the batteries and some RV’s only have these types of lights, at least that was the case for us.

3. At first we considered just switching out the bulbs in the old light fixtures to LED, and updating the fixtures later on. I think that’s mainly because every time I started to research “RV” 12v light fixtures everything I found was just as lame as the ones we wanted to remove. 

apparently the light fixture doesn’t matter so much, what does matter is the light bulb you put inside the light fixture.

For example, if you have a 120v light you can use any light fixture as long as you can screw in a 120v light bulb, and if you have a 12v light, you can use any light fixture as long as you can screw in a 12v light bulb.
