Question:

what solar lights are the best?

need some solar lights to display art work at concerts. don't know how many lights we may need. We have a 10x10 tent. Thinking a string o rope lights 4 a base light and then a couple spotlights may do the trick

Answer:

You okorder Depending which base you get on the low voltage halogens, you may need to change the socket. Alternately you can install 5 Watt POWER LEDS which are approximately equivalent to a 40 Watt lightbulb. With the low voltage halogens, you need to have several deep cycle batteries on hand because a single 50 Watt halogen low voltage bulb will draw 4.2 Amps. Figure about a half dozen deep cycles, and size the supply wire accordingly for the higher current than 120 VAC draws. If you plan to run off an inverter, modified sine often kills modern flourescent ballasts.
Low voltage lighting still has to be plugged into a power outlet in order to function, even though the voltage level is very low and relatively safe. But solar lighting is powered entirely by sunlight. Use the light components from the old solar lights to make accent garden art.the decorative light apparatus and the stakes used to insert them into the ground. Often, you can easily remove the light section from the stake. After the solar cell stops working, remove the lights from the stakes and use each component separately
