Been to the end of the internet so thought I’d ask fellow R-Pod owners.

I’ve got a 2018 176 with those dinky little round interior 12v LED lights with the tiny push button in the center. I mostly boondock so power consumption is kind of a consideration but not a deal breaker.

What’s your favorite interior ceiling light to replace those?

I’d like to not use remotes if it’s possible to keep simplicity.

As a bonus, dimmable and/or color changing would be awesome!

Thanks in advance

I put this in over the dining table, it is dimmable and works good:

Enjoy!

Thanks! I had that sitting in my amazon cart but hadn’t pulled the trigger. Would you say it is quite a bit brighter than the original round LED light that came with the camper?

Hi Camperisfordrinking (great handle!),

It looks as bright as the original puck light, but it dims quite nicely when you don't want the glare in your eyes like at the dinner table, or watching TV. It is a little smaller size than the original replaced, but I cut a round wood disc to go between the light and the panel. Works great!

The only trick is getting the + / - wires correct for the LED.

I recommend it.
