This was a tough choice when we installed our house lights.  We wanted all the LEDs to be dimmable.  We ended up using these http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00AF5YOK2/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1436623472&sr=8-1&pi=AC_SY200_QL40&keywords=led+light+remote&dpPl=1&dpID=513X5GHkpwL&ref=plSrch and velcroing each one to the wall inside the bunks and to the wall in our bedroom.

It works well.  The kids like being able to change the colors.  The switches don't have to be wired in and you can use the same remote on all the lights (so we can turn the kids lights off from the bedroom if we need to)
Also they are fairly cheap to replace and have held up well over the 2 years we have had them installed.

In the front of the bus we used a wireless remote that came with a wall plate that the remote sits in.  You can turn on/off and dim the lights from the remote as well as set a timer for the lights to turn off automatically.  The remote can go with you so if you went for a walk or to the store then you could turn the lights on before entering the bus.  And it looks like a European/modern type light switch when its sitting in its wall plate.

I highly reccomend using wireless light switches as mounting/replacing/troubleshooting them is a snap.  You can put the switch exactly where you want without having to run wire. In our two years of experience on the road with them there has never been an issue.

Here is a link to the light switch we have up front -
