Pretty much all been said.
My TD came to me with incandescent fixtures (1 porch, one OH dome, one wall, all switched on the fixture).
I replaced all 3 with LED and corrected the jacked up wiring.
Do I wish I had dimmers...yeah probably.
Beyond that, I suppose my aspirational requirement statement would be "I would like adjustably bright lights with power consumption characteristics so low that it can be ignored".
Since the only things in my TD that can consume the battery are these 3 lights, plus a 12v lighter socket, I guess I'm in the situation where lower power draw = more time I can ignore my consumption.
Move the point at which I have to worry about battery recharging/capacity out, while driving the cost down (I think my new fixtures were all under $15, so they were already so low that I didn't bother remembering what they cost), and then make the lifespan so long that it is a once-per-life purchase.
