Solar or wind powered lighting systems are ideal for a wide variety of remote lighting requirements.
Applications include garages, carports, sheds, outbuildings, stables, barns, and a wide range of
industrial & commercial uses.
For all solar, wind and battery powered lighting systems, high efficiency lights are extremely
important. The cost of a solar or wind energy system is highly dependent on the average energy
consumption and the running times.
Modern CFL light bulbs give 5x as much light as a conventional bulb, for the same energy use.
Therefore, from an 11w CFL bulb, you can expect to get about the same light output as from a
standard 60w incandescent bulb.
Unlike normal "household" CFL bulbs, which require a 240v AC input (mains), 12v DC CFL &
LED lights
eliminate the need for a separate inverter.
