windgate asked in EnvironmentGreen Living · 7 years ago

What would I need to hook up a solar light in a small green house about 5 by 7 feet?

I would like to ad one of them long lights above inside.

http://www.homedepot.com/s/solar%2520panels?NCNI-5

I know an indoor out door light would have to be used.

These are sold in our local store but have electric cords on them. Would they work or is there another type of light that I would need to be used.

Thanks!

    Power could be supplied by a 12v car battery which is being charged by a solar cell, you then have several options a long work light (of the automotive 12v type) running off the battery or a mains powered light with a 12v -120v converter, for the amount of light compared to power consumption LED is going to work best.

    It seems homedepot sell those as well http://www.homedepot.com/p/PRO-SERIES-60-LED-Cordl...

    this one even seems to be dual 12v and 120v.
