I ordered a LED light: 12V 63-LED WARM WHITE Marine RV Auto Camper 1156 BA15S. $15/ea.
I'm a great fan of anything that reduces battery draw. When I found out about the LED light above, I ordered one for the cabin lights.
Got it today and installed it. Indeed it has 64 LEDs and looks somewhat obscene. However it fits the cabin light fixture. Note that there's a right and wrong way to install it. Incandescent bulbs work with either pin positive, but a LED needs positive to it's positive, etc. If it doesn't turn on, remove it, turn it 180 deg and reinstall it.
The light output is about the same as the incandescent bulb or a little less. I put it over the sink and if Judy complains I'll go back to the incandescent bulb.
Since the cabin lights have never been a big battery draw for us (early to bed, early arise, etc., etc.) I don't think I'll get any more.
