Got a 6 x 8 shed with lighting powered by batteries and charged from a solar panel. Just a 12V 10W one as it trickle charges the batteries nicely. I install solar panels in my day job so felt I had to practice what I preach :wink:
The idea was that I could go out into the shed and have the lights on without having to connect up the mains cable from the house (an outdoor extension modified with a plug on either end)
Fine in summer, not so great in winter with low sun and shorter daylight hours, so the lighting tends to be run from a modified computer PSU at this time of year.
Lighting consists of 6m worth of ultra-brite white LED strips from GiantShark. Gives a really good and evenly balanced light.
