Less-bright bedroom lamps?

We picked up our Sunseeker 2860DS yesterday and last night slept in it parked in our driveway. I have a lot to learn about this coach but as I slid into bed to relax I realized the lights above the bed are just way too bright.

Suggestions for less-bright bulbs? or maybe battery powered bedside lamps?

What are you doing?


Thank you very much.

Ours are bright too... Plan at some point to replace them with LED's but for now since we've got an AC outlet on each side of the bed, I picked up a couple night lights from the dollar store. Decent light for relaxing or just watching a movie in bed. Can't really go wrong for a buck a piece. Also have one in the bathroom.

Cheers!

Too bright for... ?
Laurel always slips into bed b4 me when camping. I installed a red LED on my side. It looks really wild yet it is not bright and is usable for me to get in bed.

We took out the 20w halogens and replaced them with 5w. Just enough to read with.

Thank you for the suggestions, I'll definitely be looking at replacing the bulbs. Where do you recommend shopping for bulbs?

You can usually get the 5w halogen bulbs at WalMart. We replaced several in our last camper, just take one with you to make sure the pins are the same.
