New Power option for 12volt USB devices
If you really looking for power for all you devices, look no further than this type of new wall plate - I've got one for my RV, and with the 6 regular 110v outlets, you can plug in like 4 power adapters, and also you get 2 USB ports. Sounds like overkill, but if you and the DW have a phone, and each as a tablet, and also a WiFi hotspot, you need at least 5 plugs, so it goes quick.

The chargers that you show are great for every day use, but in my case I wanted to be able charge when dry camping or pulling the trailer and the 12 volt DC units are great for that.

I just installed 12v cigarette lighter receptacles (currently from ceiling light wires) and have USB charger inserts and multipliers for electronic devices. This way, there is no current draw until I plug in.

Installed this for a few dollars off amazon. 2 usb ports(2 amperage ratings
) and 12v port. Now easily charge ipad, phones, 2way radios, fan and powers my cell booster. important to install an inline fuse. Best mod so far. while i was at it installed volt meter as well. both a door entrance for easy access and viewing

Apparently it's putting too much voltage into the phone so it is redirecting to the light or something?

It sounds to me like you have the USB outlet in series with the the bulb, did you connect it across the switch?
If so, the new phone pulls enough current through the bulb to make it lite up where the old phone did not. Either way, there will be a voltage drop and current limit through the bulb, you should find a hot wire and a ground to connect the USB port to.
Our 22RBPR was fairly light on AC outlets so I added a couple more and the duplex outlets I installed each had 2 USB power outlets, with 3.6 amps of capacity.

I also replaced the 110 outlets by the bed with the duplex outlets from Home Depot. Much less frustration not having to remember charging bricks.
