Where did you purchase your LED lights are the 110 or 12 volt?

I don't know what he/she did, but 12 volts is the only "correct" answer IMO.
From a use perspective 12 volt lights can be used any time. 110 volt only when docked, or on inverter or generator. And the 110 volts will be downconverted to 5 or 12 volts anyway by a transformer anyway.
LED lights are available by a zillion places on Amazon / eBay or for the very cheapest Alibaba (if you are buying in Qty as the shipping will be much more).
There are hundreds of different bulb and fixture styles (rope light, adhesive, connector differences, bulb color, bulb lumen etc).
Ikea makes some nice LED for undercounter, in drawer or cabinet lights. Also can be automated as they are Zigbee technology control. I would have to double check they can run on 12 volts (unlikely but haven't checked).
https://www.ikea.com/us/en/p/dioder-...hite-20119418/
EDIT - checked...their transformer is 24 volt output so might not work / or will be dim on 12 volts. But an example.

How did the Shine Armor work. I ordered mine a week ago and am waiting for it to come in.

While I wait for the Ohio weather to get a little better i.e. several days of moderate temps and at least partly cloudy, I'm going to be doing the following:
1. I have a new MaxxAir fan to install in the bathroom. My DW can't reach the OEM fan, so getting a remote control MaxxAir fan make her happy.
2. This morning, I finally decided to order a set of SnapPads that were available through etrailer.com
3. And, it's time to give the exterior a wax job.
4. For more fun, I need to clean out the basement storage compartments and reorganize where needed.
It appears that all of us will have some time to get our chores done since I think we'll be grounded until at least the end of May. I'm hoping they will consider modifying the closure of campgrounds in Ohio to allow them to open if they follow procedures to insure safe separation i.e. close off playgrounds, pools, recreation halls etc. It would be nice to just get out somewhere and get out of the S&B house. After all, we can be as safe in a campground as we can elsewhere!

Ok let’s see, I have ordered wiper blades, I washed and waxed the coach, totally cleaned the roof and found some minor cracks, setup the av receiver on the network, working on getting the roof drain unclogged and cracks filled, and if I ever receive the new tv ( it’s taking forever) I will replace it ( televator tv) that’s all for now

I’m doing the swap from NOrCOLD to residential. I have old fridge out of cabinet sitting in living room of coach. Gotta pull coach out of building to pull window for install of new fridge. We haven’t decided which residential we’re going back in with.
At home in S&B until late August. Not in a hurry. Thanks to all the guys that posted their fridge mods. They’ve been a great help.

Just finished flushing the hydronic heating system. Replaced the coolant and the hot tank pressure cap.
Plan to do all the annual service myself this year instead of using the local truck service center.

Post got me motivated to upgrade the Halogen hot undercounter lights in the sticks and bricks with $60 of LED. Worked out great.

That's what I did first, Kitchen Cabinets using similar LED's back last year. The ones I listed for my coach I like much better. Used the 3m tape pieces and a different controller and came out perfect.

While waiting for the Spartan SCM to arrive I installed disconnects on the chassis batteries.
