Generally speaking that 100w light bulb was probably replaced with an LED 20 years ago and now consumes 10w and runs for 10 hours.

Well, yeah, it's just a "Library of Congress" measurement that is probably long past its expiration date. The entire vehicle's interior lighting is LED; on the monster house battery it has, you could probably keep it well-lit for weeks.
