New LED's
The 48 LED panels in 2700K color temp have gotten very reasonable in price since I first switched to them in the RV. Panels Back then I ordered from China through ebay. This time I ordered from Belle...

Remodeled my kitchen a couple of years ago, and switched the lighting over from 3 4-foot 80W florescent, to 14 cans using CREE LED 60w-equivilent dimmable floods. Great bulbs. They draw only 11 watts, do not heat up, and the light is consistent and even. I like the 2700k color, the 5000k are too blue for me. The sticky outside surface of those bulb is a little weird, but you only need to touch them once.
Going to convert the interior lights on my TT this spring. They used LED's on everything outside, but still used the incandescent fixtures on the inside. Won't be that way for long.
One thing some people should be aware of is the RF noise some LED's will emit in their driver circuitry. Most people won't be concerned with that, but we people who like to listen to shortwave radio or even AM band radio often get noise from the cheaper LED bulbs and fixtures. If that is a concern to you, get one of the fixtures/bulbs and try it out first. I did that with my CREE lights, they do not emit RF that I could detect, but a GE LED bulb I tried out was very noisy, RF-wise.
