Noticed that some of the fixtures are a bit loose even when retesting them with the original incandescents  so removing the cover and fiddling with the bulbs may be necessary in the future.    

 

I can just see it staying on inside the cupboard as our dishes rattle around in their container.... 

Forgot to mention that on the Ceiling Light version in my post above, the light colour is warm-white.  It would probably make an awesome light for the 18x series clamshell.

I was thinking about how to add a "step light" for those dark nights approaching the pod when there are no lights on. There is plenty of room to mount a light under / behind the entry steps.

 

Or maybe even a storage compartment light.

 

Hmmmmm......

We just received both our 25led warm-white bulb and our 36led white-white bulbs.  They fit in the pod fixtures but are a tiny bit fiddly (or maybe our fixture has a loose socket).  Not sure if all that movement during transit might loosen one or two of them in the socket.  

The 36led bulbs don't quite fit that well in the double fixtures.  The two bulbs will touch even after being fully inserted and I'm not sure that's a good thing, so we ordered more of the 25led warm white ones for the double fixtures.

On a slightly separate note, we've also discovered Mr. Beams brand LED lights.  These are really bright and have a plastic lense that magnifies the light.  The flood can be a bit shadowy at a distance but it's much much better (and larger in size) than ordinary led puck-lights.  Unfortunately Mr. Beams lights seem to be only motion-activated so best for inside the cupboards or in a large rig.  

Keith,  I type with 3 thumbs on each hand.  I usually notice my typos AFTER I post. I found out that if the AUTHOR of a Post goes to the post and clicks on Post Options, there will be an EDIT option so you can fix your mistakes before anyone sees them - if you're quick! 

We also bought another pair in warm white from a different ebay vendor.  This one has 25-bulbs instead of the 36-bulbs.  Hopefully this should be enough light.

As G really detests the blue-white colour of most LEDs, I was thinking of putting a warm white and a cool white in the double fixtures.

Hopefully these will arrive by the end of the month. The shipping timetable says it could take up to 4 weeks!

I read somewhere that I needed separate 12v wiring and a separate "box" for that other circuit because there aren't any existing 12v fixtures close to where I want the strip lights. This is so over my head 

I found this LED striplight, it has a self adhesive back, it comes in different colors, I choose the warm white because I dont like the stark white light. I put in about 9 feet.

 

 

I also found these handy trivets, they are small and they are good for 260 C or 500 F

 

 

Look at the 3M line of wall attachments, they have hooks, loops, etc which will help mount rope lighting.  Or since the lights will be mostly hidden you could use clear packing tape.

Also, does anyone have any experience with putting up LED rope lighting?  The puck lights that I had put in the storage areas have gotten bumped by other items and broken off during transit so I'm trying to figure out how to put in a low profile light.  The main areas I'm thinking of putting the rope lights in are the street side cargo area right above the door, a strip in the cabinet above the stove and a strip tucked in the front part of the microwave cubby (we don't have the microwave).
