Custer makes RV interior lights that look clean and go in without fuss. You'll find 12V LED options with simple two-wire hookups, and select models work with an LED-compatible dimmer for the ambience you want. For ceiling or wall installs, plan for space behind the fixture on designs that don't store excess wire inside.
Yes, they can be very bright for cabin or dome lighting, though results vary by light and placement. Some installs came out very bright, while one noted they weren't as bright as expected. A quick bench test to a 12V battery before mounting helps you gauge output. Aim the light where you need it most to make the most of the beam.
Yes, they can work with a dimmer. Use a dimmer that's compatible with LEDs since not all dimmers are. If flicker occurs, confirm the dimmer's LED rating and wiring. Keep connections clean and solid to minimize noise or dimming instability.
Remove the metal clip, then use a small screwdriver to gently pry at the clips where the metal clip fastened. Take your time to avoid stressing the plastic. If instructions are light, dry-fit the base first to confirm hole spacing and wire routing, then snap the bezel back on once secured.
Some Custer dome lights do not have space inside to store excess wire. Plan for a recess or a route behind the mounting surface. If there's no recess, measure available space and manage wire length so the base sits flush. Avoid pinching wires when snapping the bezel back on.
LEDs draw far less current than an incandescent bulb with similar light output. For exact numbers, check the specific light's amp draw listing before tying into an existing circuit. If sizing a fuse or dimmer, verify the light's rated current and add a safety margin to avoid nuisance trips.
