    if u could get a hold of 10 x car batterys x 12 volt = 120 volts

    you would need to make a safe place to put them.....

    but safety in mind, i would look around for a similar bulb of lower voltage, that may work for you..say 12 volt halogen from a car.. it would be quite easy for most technicians to swap the bulb holders..

    what i would do is use a deep cycle battery thats 12 volts and and get a small inverter of at least 150watts and that should workout now if you want continuous power all day without using a wall outlet then get an additional solar power that puts out 12 volt of at least 21 amps and that should charge the battery while powering your lamps,

    Good luck
