Extra shower lighting
I am currently building a house and in the meantime will be living in a Coachmen Chaparral 275rls.
I have been in it for a weak and there are a few things I want to change. One of the first is adding better lighting in the bathroom. The shower has a skylight that works great during the day but if I shower when it is dark it is very difficult to see. There is only a single light in the bathroom and when the shower curtain is closed it gets dark in the shower.
I thought about adding a standard RV light... I was searching for LED lighting and came across Automotive Lights that were small and bright.
At only L 6 3/4" x W 5/8" I was thinking I could put them on the other side of the skylight and use the opaque skylight as a light diffuser.
I was able to wire it in to the existing bathroom light in a matter of minutes. The nice thing is that the bathroom has a wall mounted switch that now operates both lights. Using double stick tape that was provided with the lights I attached them to the skylight framing in the shower.
It is very difficult to tell from the photos but they light up the entire shower VERY well. My wife was very pleased.... Happy wife, happy life....
