Anyone have suggestions for LED light fixtures for the interior of my 8.5' x 20' enclosed trailer? I've just been Amazon shopping. The ones on there all seem like various levels of junk. I had adhesive-backed LED light strips in an old trailer. They worked fine but looked a little too DIY for my taste.

I have the strip lights, two rows of them and really like them. Provide good light. I've been meaning to wire them to an adapter to use m18 batteries to power them.

12V or 110V or whatever they are calling it this week?

12v, I should have said that. They'll be powered by the spare battery I carry for my race car. I don't like to have to run the generator constantly just to have lights.

I put 4 of these in the bedroom area of an RV, worked good.

Amazon LED overhead
My car hauler has several similar ones that are about twice as big, they work well.

I put these in the dinnete/kitchen area, they are nice but you may have to push the button each time to turn them on, not just hardwired to a switch...

Other Amazon LED

I also grabbed one of these just to try out as a portable work light.
I have so many dewalt batteries around it made sense. It also has a USB charge port on it.

Check out landscape lighting - it will be more rugged than most interior lighting, it will be weatherproof, and it is quite commonly designed for 12 V operation.

You might check FlexFireLeds.com

I've used them for under/over cabinet lighting and for my workbench task lighting. They have 12V versions.

They can assist with any design questions you may have.

+1 for FlexFireLeds.com I have their lighting in my shop, my kitchen, my daughter's kitchen and in my temperature controlled beer fermentation chamber.

I went down this rabbit hole when I was looking at running my shed off of 12v.

Superbrightleds sells T5 fixtures in 12-36VDC:

The Ryobi stuff is pretty good. Lights and batteries, and tons of other light duty tools.

I haven't settled on fixtures yet but wanted to get going on the power source. Plano plastic ammo box, voltmeter with on/off switch, and spare race car battery. Like I said, the battery will be in the trailer on way or the other, might as well put it to use.
