I also do not like the overhead lights and about the only one I use regularly is the one in the bathroom. I also bought a couple small (maybe 12 - 14 inches) lamps and put one on the kitchen counter, and one on the small side table by the recliner and one in the bedroom where we have a small desk/dresser area. So with those and the one on the microwave/range hood, that is about all we use. Course we are plugged into electric all the time and do not boondock. I only use the overhead lights when I have to. Where there is a will there is a way. Good luck with whatever you want to do and enjoy your trailer. Happy camping.
