I have a question/idea to ask of you. If I was to run a 6w led |
|
bulb on this circuit using a 9v rechargeable, how long would it |
|
last? or hook up more to increase lighting duration? My |
|
question comes from an idea ive been bouncing around in my head |
|
to eliminate my normal home lighting with a few of these units |
|
mounted to the walls around the house. Maybe even at some point |
|
hook up rc switches to them for remote lighting. |
|
Feasible/efficient? or Pipedream? I also have planned to |
|
eventually hookup a cycle generator to charge the batteries |
|
along with wind and solar supply. |

I was considering the same but each single bulb unit uses eg : |
|
0.3 amps If you had one unit mounted and feeding a power strip |
|
it can power 6 bulbs for a lot less power. You just need |
|
extension cords. And you only have to buy parts for one. I put |
|
one "master unit " in my shed and it drives 4 "slave bulbs ". |
|
I like it. |

Yes, I agree with CG. Running one bulb per circuit isn't as |
|
efficient as running multiple bulbs off one circuit. I |
|
recommend building one or two good circuits and buying some |
|
speaker wire or two strand wire, some bulb sockets and mounting |
|
them where you need them. Simple bulb sockets with a pull |
|
string are not expensive. You could probably hide the wire |
|
under carpet or use very small wire and string it along the |
|
ceiling join. |
|
My kids have nice plug in desk lamp fixtures we just plug into |
|
the circuit and turn on when we want. |
