When it comes to life on the road, lighting inside your RV can make all the difference between a cozy retreat and a cave-like experience. From the warm glow of incandescent bulbs to the energy-saving power of LEDs, RVers have more lighting options than ever before.
To shed some light on what our readers really want, we asked a simple question in our latest newsletter: “Which type of RV lighting do you prefer?”
The response was illuminating, to say the least! If you missed out, don’t worry—there will be more chances to have your say in future polls. Make sure to vote next time so you can be a part of the results and help us discover what makes RV living shine for everyone!
Poll Results: Shedding Light on Your Preferences
Here’s how our readers voted:
| Type of RV Lighting | Percentage of Votes |
|---|---|
| LED Lights | 80% |
| Natural Lighting | 15% |
| Incandescent Lights | 5% |
| Fluorescent Lights | 0% |
LED Lights: Clearly the Brightest Star
With a whopping 80% of the vote, LED lights have clearly stolen the spotlight (and probably a few hearts along the way). It seems our readers are big fans of bulbs that don’t eat up precious battery power faster than a squirrel on a sunflower seed binge.
Maybe it’s the cool, modern glow, or maybe it’s the fact that you can accidentally leave them on all night and still have enough juice left to make coffee in the morning. Either way, LEDs are the rockstars of the RV world—long-lasting, energy-efficient, and just bright enough to find that missing sock under the dinette.
Natural Lighting: Sunlight Still Has a Fan Club
Coming in at a respectable 15%, natural lighting proves that some folks would rather let the sun do the heavy lifting. There’s something magical about opening the blinds in the morning and letting the sunrise flood your tiny home on wheels.
Of course, this method depends a lot on where you’ve parked—shade-loving vampires and night owls may want to stick with artificial options!
Incandescent and Fluorescent: The Light Bulbs of Yesteryear
Incandescent lights managed to snag a modest 5% of the vote. Maybe it’s nostalgia for the good ol’ days when bulbs burned hot enough to double as a hand warmer (or a marshmallow roaster in a pinch). F
luorescent lights, on the other hand, didn’t get a single nod. Perhaps our readers are still traumatized by that one flickering tube in their grandma’s basement, or maybe they just prefer lighting that doesn’t hum louder than their refrigerator.
Conclusion: Why LEDs Lead the Way
So, why did LED lights shine so brightly in our poll? We think it’s a combination of practicality and comfort. LEDs offer unbeatable energy efficiency, which is crucial for RVers who often rely on battery power or solar panels. They also come in a variety of colors and brightness levels, letting you set the mood whether you’re reading, cooking, or just kicking back after a long day on the road.
Plus, with their long lifespan, you can spend less time changing bulbs and more time exploring the open road. In short, LEDs seem to be the perfect match for modern RV living—bright, reliable, and easy on the wallet (and the eyes). If you haven’t made the switch yet, maybe these results will light a fire under you—figuratively, of course!
