I recommend led strips. They come warm (3500โฐ K) and are great for tucking away so the light is ambient and the light source never hits your eye. They only draw about 24 watts. They run on USB so there's that but they come with a remote. Answer from iandcorey on reddit.com

12v led lighting - Small Cabin Forum
Cabin Forum/Blog: I was wondering what would take to put a 12vv led powered light system in our cabin. For the last 5 years ago so I have used the same 12v car battery for things and trying to upgrade. Probably 2-4 lights upstairs. 5-6 scattered around in the lower level.

Looking for 12 volt LED lighting from a car battery - illumination for a shipping container cabin | Candle Power Flashlight Forum
September 1, 2021 - You can pretty easily find 12 VDC Type A medium screw base lamps (read: regular lightbulbs size/shape) to fit standard household lighting fixtures. I jury-rigged mine, because the cabin was originally fitted with 12 VDC CFLs that used a lot more power and were a lot dimmer than the 3W LED replacement lamps I found on clearance sale at the local Staples. The lamps were a bi-pin replacement for T3 12 VDC halogen lamps, and were rated at 170 lumens each. ... The LED low voltage landscape lights found at home improvement stores are mostly 12 volt, have nice looking housings, and can be found in much nicer color temperatures than offroad truck lights.

12V lighting for off-the-grid cabin | Candle Power Flashlight Forum
March 15, 2010 - I second this idea of using bridgelux leds, I have five or so of them and the warm and neutral white ones are extremely bright and put out a nice color. 3 to 4 of the BRIDGELUX BXRA-N0400-00000 run in parallel should put out plenty of light for a room that size. Plus since they only need like 9-10 volts a piece they would be perfect for your 12VDC supply.

Shouldn't have any trouble getting around 58hrs of continuous light out of them with a 120ah battery before they start to noticeably dim. ... For several years we ran 3 strips of LED lights in our cabin off of a deep cycle battery and it would last half the summer (weekend stays) without recharging.

2.) Does anyone know of a good off-grid 12v wiring book? ... You could go with automotive wiring and cigarette-lighter outlets and plugs. Or, like I did, simply use AC wiring and designate one plate as positive and the other as negative. The problem with that is if a visitor thinks this is an ordinary AC outlet and plugs an AC appliance into it! Fortunately at the one cabin I had wired this way the biggest item that got fried was a cheap CD player!

May 17, 2012 - 12V is low voltage and should be fineโ€ฆ If you want an even better answer, look into RV components since they commonly utilize 12V wiring for lighting. So far 120V switches have worked well at the cabin.

May 17, 2012 - I began by joining the 18 gauge interior 12V wire with the trench log in the cabin basement and then sending a loop of wire over to the main distribution panel. The loop of wire will eventually be cut and a digital timer will be installed near the main AC distribution panel. The end of the 12V interior wire was then sent over and up into the half wall between the entrance way and the kitchen. The Sonicrafter made plunge cutting in a light switch almost too easy.
