Need an add-on reading lamp

Our TT has a light above the bed but it's too far in front of us. We need to wear ballcaps with brims for shading our eyes to read in bed. I want two LED lamps, maybe gooseneck type or just circular disc type that are 12V. Any ideas?
  • Not sure this will work for you but we replaced our original reading lights with two from Amazon made by Gustafson Lighting. The number was 51AM-559XY for $38 each. They have a swivel neck so the light can be pointed in almost any direction. Our lights on our back wall above the twin beds.

    It depends on the layout around your bed, but in my case an LED license plate light was just the ticket.

    Very small, pretty bright, very inconspicuous and best of all, very inexpensive.

    I put it off to the side and facing down, it only shines in my eyes if I look 90 deg to the side.

    I used a few under the curb side of the coach too, they're (obviously) weatherproof and light up the ground nicely but you're not sitting under a spotlight.
  • Have you considered battery operated LED lights? Possibly with rechargeable AAs.
