Lighting the Interior of my Cargo Trailer

 I have been looking at ways to put lighting up in my trailer for months now.  I use it for many things, but I do use it for camping/travel.  It is great, I set up a cot, open the vent and sleep great!  I eventually want to get an air conditioner and heater for it, but for now it's fine.  With those upgrades I have been looking into some kind of portable, sustainable power options to include solar charging.  There is a plethora of information out on the interwebs and youtube.  Then I thought of a simple, cheap, very easily completed method.  Of course I got the idea from my kids!

All my kids have these (what I thought were stupid) LED lights that plug in.  Well then I remembered for my chuck-box I got a set of LED lights that hook up to a small battery, just have some cool lighting at night in the old box.  

Why not do the same with the trailer?  Granted it's not bright light for doing work, but it lights up enough to see and get comfortable for bed.
