Well, my LEDs came in the mail yesterday. So today after church and lunch I wandered out to the trailer and replaced 19 (count 'em) 921 incandescent bulbs with LEDs.

This upgraded all 7 overhead dual bulb fixtures and all 5 swivel reading lamps. I have 1 LED as a spare. I'll see how bright they are after the sun goes down. They seem to make a soft, cool light compared to the incandescent bulbs. Each LED "bulb" has 42 individual LEDs and I have no idea what the lumen output is.

I ran all the fixtures for a while and all of them remained cool to the touch.

This leaves only the 3 bulb vanity light, the wall lamp by the couch and the light over the dinette. I might leave these alone, as I like the quality of those lights as they are. And this whole exercise was about the quality of the light anyway.

The best part is the Vortex fan I installed a while back will run at full speed even when the light fixture it is wired to is on.
