I plan to use a few of these for interior lighting on the new teardrop that I'm building.

I will use rechargeable AAA batteries. Has anyone else out there used these in their teardrop?
Experiences - good or bad?
Thanks, David

Were it me I would have fixed the ones you have. New LED arrays if they need it and replace the switch if that is the problem. Just saying.

it was too much $$ for lights that have issues. Much less time spent by sending them back and finding another product.

I bought these ikea desk lamps for mine. I gutted the weight from the base and used cigarette plug USB adapters to bring 12v to 5v and added a small toggle on and off. Works perfectly and you can adjust the light to any direction.
