Through the assistance of many great posters here on SCF, I was able to rig up a lighting system in my camper up at camp. I will later use this same configuration in the "Shed Mahal" for its lighting needs. Many thanks to all those who helped me along the way.
We'll start with the battery box and ground and work our way to the superbrite LED's.

Next we move onto the inline fuse, into the camper and onto the light fixture. Now we have a choice of either using the 14watt Fluorescent or the SBLED.

We were amazed at the amount of illumination, almost unbelievable given the size, that these LEDs put out. I'm going to definitely be using these exclusively inside my cabin in the near future...

If you put two LEDs in each fixture it would be brighter than the big power draw light fixture. Congratulations! A very impressive conversion.
