Warning about lights next to kids' bunks

This is a word of warning especially for those who have motorhomes with bunk beds with lights on the wall. Keep pillows and other items away from the 12V lights or they will melt and could cause a fire. One of my kids had the light on, then leaned a pillow against it, then left. Some time later, we discovered the pillow with burn marks on it and the plastic light cover had a 1.5" hole melted through. The entire light fixture stunk like burning plastic so I had to remove the whole thing, cut and cover the wires, and tape over the hole before the bed could be used again.

Thank goodness that no one was hurt and that a fire didn't start and spread elsewhere. I had put a few LED bulbs in some of my light fixtures for dry camping but should have changed that one, too, since they don't heat up nearly as much as the standard 12V bulbs.
