My view is that Diversified power sources are the way to energy independence. It doesn't cost anything to keep the gas fixture if you already have it, but I wouldn't spend a huge fortune to add one if you don't have one already.
If you are simply concerned about a backup light source in propane, the little Olympus lamp can be installed against any available open fixture and hung where you need it. I recently tested this unit with house gas on my 66 Safari and it was fine, but a bit inconvenient in that it is a loose fixture.
I'd rather put my money into cool white flurescents for general light and the 12 volt bullets and LED strips for ambience.

Hey guys, with all this talk of saving energy when boondocking I got to thinking about the little propane light we had in our 72 Overlander. Our Caravel doesn't have a propane lamp, but I was thinking I might like to install one. Does anyone have any experience with this? Seems like it could be a solution to evening lighting that would save battery power. Thanks,
