Dome lights - any better options?
Mr. Moderator, please feel free to move it to DIY forum if it belongs there. On my 2nd year I already hate dome lights in my trailer. Will be replacing the wedge bulbs with LED boards, but this won...

Watts per foot is a rather imprecise method to compare led strip lighting performance. A low quality strip might be made with junk leds which offer a poor lumen per watt efficacy; despite high wattage, not much light is produced.
The humble T10 wedge is 100 lumens, so a dual wedge dome puts out a blinding 200 lumens of light.
The roughly 3 foot strip I'm using puts out 1440 lumens, as much light as seven dual-wedge domes. Keeping the wiring neat is my hurdle right now... the wire exits the end of the strip rather than the back, so I have to figure out how to dress up the end where I will make a hole for the wire to run into.
