Rigid LED light strips, like the ones used as under cabinet lighting in kitchens. They are 12 Volt and can be wired into the existing lighting, thee difference is literally night and day.

They are extremely bright I can get pictures of on & off if you would like.

Try a couple of these in the overhead light. Should give you enough light.

I put one in my outside light and it works great.

Those might do the trick. Will be stopping at CW tomorrow to dump the tanks. Will see if they have them. Thanks.

LOL! I here that all the time.

So teach me something here, with this light
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...080_em_1p_3_im
it uses 110v in and pushes 12v to the lights. To wire it into my existing light switch, could I just cut the transformer out and wire the lights straight into the existing 12v light switch?

I don't see any reason why that wouldn't work!

Solving 110v to 12v

You just DON'T use the voltage adapter.

My wife also wanted light in the bathroom. Went to camping world and got the two strip led lights and removed the old bulbs and in a half hour she has more than enough light now.
