May I first suggest looking over some of our help articles that I have linked. In addition, for solar, I suggest the Go Power Weekender ISW RV Solar Charging System - 190 Watt Solar Panel - 1,500 Watt Inverter, # 34282183 as a good starting point.

The Optronics LED RV Interior Dome Light with Switch, # RVILL33, that you ask about has a power draw of only 12.8V and 0.3 amps. Producing an effective lumen output of 407.

I suggest you consider the Go Power RV Converter and Smart Battery Charger - 12V - 35 Amp, # 34266167.
