This Canyonland has the 3 bulbs on each side of the mirror. Never had a bath that had this arrangement. Thinking of mounting 2, two inch round, LED flush mount marine lights. On each side of the mirror. Then one in the ceiling above the sink. Anyone tried this arrangement? Light seems to be short in the sink to me. But then again. I'm a light nut. Lighting is fine for me. If you think that you just may need sun glasses inside. ( GRIN ) Bob Dunahugh

I got a led fixture that must have 100 led's in it to replace the stock 2
bulb ceiling light in our dry bath 78 Royale. It has two settings, too
bright, and sear. There are absolutely NO SHADOWS anywhere in the bathroom.
Judy loves it. Me? Not so much. I look into the mirror and there is a
strange old man staring out at me.

When I bought the GMC the OEM bath lighting and the ceiling fan existed. The lighting fixture was cracked and the fan let no light in. The bath was
dark and with its 70's color, just seemed uncomfortable.
I replaced both of the old oem broken lighting with a more solid floresent fixture, this was before LED's became popular. I since have retrofitted up
to LED lights. I also put a strip of LED's above the sink, which I tend to use all the time anyway.
I have also put a single LED in one of the side light fixtures and use it as a night light. It is on all the time while camping.
I had the fixture replaced with a fantastic vent fan to get some daylight into the bathroom and this was the one huge improvement that I suggest
everyone do.
SUNLIGHT FLOODS THE BATHROOM and the once dingy looking 70's color now looks bright and light again.
I have since upgraded some of the coach lighting to COB LED lighting and the difference is very noticable, both in lighting and in power savings. I
did put a dimmer on the COB LED lights in the living room for varied lighting control. I do have a 55 watt solar panel on the roof for keeping the
batteries up when parked.
I did a voltage test over a week while running the COB LED lighting and found the voltage stayed within a volt of the starting voltage.
I didn't realize there was such a huge difference in power use even in LED use until I made the COB led lights.
I Highly recommend looking into them.

Replacing the small ceiling vent fan with a Fantastic Fan solves a lot of the problems of a dark bathroom. It's amazing how much of a difference it
makes.

removed the oem bathroopm light fixtures and Gorilla Glued some MPJA led panels in place of the old bulbs.... About $16.00 including shipping. I now have much more light than anywhere else I have ever tried to shave... Wife approves of the results.

My coach has the three to a side fixtures. I shined the switches up and put in 6 cheap eBay 12V LED bulbs. Works great. The faded covers reduce the
harshness somewhat but there's still light to shave by.

Total agreement on swapping out the bulbs for LED on the OEM light
housings. Made a huge difference. So much so, that i never use all 6 at one
time.
