Lighting has such an impact on a space, and it’s one of my favorite tools to really make an environment captivating.
Stock RV lighting was never going to make the cut, and fixtures intended for a home require more space than we have.
I started with the types of light bulbs I wanted to use and made very simple fixtures for them with built-in dimming controls for both aesthetics and power conservation. The direct-control is also very practical for a small space.
These fixtures are all for MR-16 or MR-11 spotlights.
Everything is a super-low-power LED, and a very warm 2200K color temperature or a tune-able 2700-2200K to replicate incandescent light.
They are made from PVC sheet. We opted for white plastic over wood because of the other original white hardware acccents that will remain through our renovation.
Also seen here is a ceiling plate for the bathroom with a speaker, motion sensor and dimmer control for the LED strip lighting we’re using in there.
Yes, if I haven’t put you to sleep yet, this is all very “extra”. The hope is that all this extra effort in the design will disappear to some extent and make for a very practical and enjoyable experience.
