I've replaced all the interior lights with nice, modern fixtures and need to do the same with the vanity lights in the bathroom. What have others used to replace those triple bulb assemblies?

I bought some nice, modern looking fixtures from JimB a couple of years ago that helped modernize the look of the bathroom.

I stayed with the triple bulb fixtures but replaced the center incandescent bulb with LEDs. They light up the bathroom really well without draining much power from my house batteries while dry camping. I also replaced the old lenses with modern frosted plastic lenses (from Jim K)

I didn't realize new lenses might be available, that's all I think I need! Thanks.

Jim's suggestion is go to Camping World with an old lens in hand. They have lots of choices. Nice to know...

Nice plan, But, our light fixtures disintegrated about 8 years ago. Leds were not yet common and inexpensive, so we have two 15W fluorescent in the head. They work.

My bathroom lights (Original) were falling apart and missing parts. The PO had tried to keep them together with glue and tape.....LOLOLOLOL.

There are many fixes, I covered the large hole with attractive wood and replaced the old fixtures with a modern 2 bulb florescent fixture. I added in the lower corner a small LED light for a night light.

Over the sink I added a channel that spans from the left side to the right side and put in LED lights, ( there are now some great LED modules that can be used that are very low power and very bright, I gave the ADDY to Dbub). I switched this LED light separately and put the switch in the new light body on the left side.

The new LED lighting is fabulous, very bright, the LED night light is perfect and the 2 new fixtures (florescent) are great for additional lighting.

Also consider that now that these new LED modules are available, you can pretty much modify any nice fixture to use the modules. The LED modules are 12vdc and are used for commercial signage. I don't have the direct ADDY but search AllElectronicsCorp and look under LED. The module is plastic sealed, can be bought in a string and has 3 bright LEDs to each module. I put one in the back yard to test it and it is quite bright and weather resistant.

Just what I did
