LED Opinions for my new 30 footer

[rebel102285]

I am trying to decide what exactly i should do for 12 volt LED Lighting for the new 30 footer I just ordered--- I ordered just the shell, and will be finishing it with 3/4" x 6" Cedar tongue and groove.

I first looked at the LED strings onthe popular auction site but i just dont like the way they look...I think they would look tacky and i dont like how the secure (with 3m double stick)--- So the idea i have rolling around at this point is using individual 5mm led's (about 100 of them) recessed into the ceiling with the wiring hidden. While this will achieve what I am trying to accomplish i think it will also be alot of work... any other suggestions?

I am stilling trying to decide what to do for hole lights as I really want to do 100% LED

I would go with the Clam LED sled lights, the large ones have 12 bulbs per housing. They are pretty darn bright and don't draw much for amps.

I went with LED double pancake lights similar to what they have in campers. Have not hooked them up yet though so I can't tell you how well they work but I am sure they will be fine.

There are a lot better options than doing 100 individual LEDs, in my opinion. I can't imagine how much of a hassle it would be to make all those connections, and drill all the holes. There are 3 way's I've done in my houses:

1) These are the LEDs in my current house. It is "Recessed Downlighting", #4 is "Recessed Light Fixture, 12 LED". I used 9 of these in my 20' house, and 1 in the bathroom. It is the perfect amount of light.

2) Their are tube style lights from http://OutdoorProStore.com . I used from a different place (2) 4' and (1) 2'. These are super expensive but less expensive at OutdoorPorStore, and I had burnt out 2 sets of them in my 2010 house. I had no issues in my 2009 house.

3) When my LED tubes burnt out the 2nd time, I replaced them with a double tube light (I can't find the model right now). Instead of the fluorescent bulbs, I replaced them with LED tubes (T9 model?). These worked great, and I had no more light issues.

Thanks Ripper! Thats exactly what im looking for. The ones from King Kong just look too tacky and with the amount of dollars put into this house thats not what i want.
