This is a removeable DVD stand I made out of conduit and wood for the back bunk in our Jayco 23B. swivels and tilted slightly. I also made one that will slide in the post where our regular TV sits for...

So last year I swapped out my 921 bulbs for some 6000K bright-white LED bulbs because we do camp off the grid enough to justify the savings on the amperage draw. Our stock light fixtures on our Jayco only have one switch that turns both lamps on. What I wanted to do was find a way to control each lamp individually so I could put a regular 921 bulb on one side and an LED on the other so we could pick which (or both) we want turned on. Last week I got a screamin' deal on a certain online auction site for a 6-pack of RV light fixtures.
The old stock light fixture is on top and the new one is on bottom. Note also the new lenses are diffused white instead of the clear lenses on the old fixtures.
So now I have an independent switch for each lamp. LED for off the grid, Bulb for on-the-grid.
Overall lighting with just LEDs is quite acceptable. Also, to the left of the photo you can see two double-lamps under the cabinets -- one of these was originally a single lamp.
I did re-purpose some of my original fixtures to be double-LED for the bed-ends. These are wired into the existing wiring for the 1/4" tent-end connectors (ample reading light while in bed).
That single-lamp from under the counter also got re-purposed with an LED as an doorway/entrance light.
This doorway/entrance light also conveniently shines right into the compartment that I keep some "campfire" items located in. You can also see my EMS-HW30C Energy Management System mod (or at least the controller for it) in this photo.
With the addition of the doorway light and the bed-end lights, the LED lighting is really evened out quite well. The diffusers on the new fixtures helped with that as well. It was well worth the few hours last saturday afternoon!
