Medicine Cabinet Light

My RV did not come with a light for the medicine cabinet. The bathroom has a halogen ceiling light that does a great job of lighting up your left shoulder, but I could not see to shave.

I found an AC powered LED strip at Wal-Mart for about $20. It is a 3000k warmer light that I like better than the normal white LEDs. I used some cedar to make an angled base for it. A stainless screw prevents the light from slipping off its mounting screws. I put two hooks on the backside to wind up the excess cord as I used a 3' flush plug extension cord.

I like working with cedar and it is everywhere in my house. It stays straight, smells good, does not need painting and matches RV wood reasonably well.

Nice job and I had exactly the same issue, but I installed a second ceiling light that I had removed from another area of the trailer when installed some fluorescent fixtures. The existing light was to the left of the medicine cabinet and the one I added to the right was near the powered roof vent for the shower so I was able to tap into those wires and make it look factory and 12V. Now I can see both sides of my face when I shave and the one I added was a double bulb vs. the existing single bulb fixture on the left.
