higgins 75 Posted March 5, 2013 Report Share Posted March 5, 2013 (edited) i ve had that one it's not worth bothering with. Just get one of the 12volt energy bulbs like a fluorescent they are very bright and get the biggest size solar panel you can afford with a decent 12 volt battery for a bit extra you ll have a much better set up and can run other stuff too. this is my shed powered by solar Edited March 5, 2013 by higgins 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
