Hi, Ray and Connie-- Yes, our 2010 151 does have lights on the ceiling. I was thinking about lamps near the bed for reading and switching on/off without climbing out again. I may have to stick to reading books on the iPad at night, since the screen is lit. Vana is trying out an LED battery-operated light that slips onto the book.

That's interesting.  My 2010 RP-151 has (2) lights over the bed area, like the one in the kitchen.

Welcome to the forum!  I bought these high output LED spotlights (3-pk) from Amazon and put them over my bed.  They swivel for direction, and they even have a remote control.  You can space them around the pod according to your own preference.

They can be mounted either with the screw on plate or with the adhesive strip - both are provided, and use batteries, which are also provided.

Let me qualify my earlier post.  I did not mount these LED lights on the ceiling over the bed - the R-Pod already comes with lights there.  I put these swivel lights on the pod walls over the head of the bed for better reading.  I don't really like reading by the overhead lights.
