Lighting a pavillion for picnic

I use a rock.

Oddly enough, I used to have a couple fountain pens. I had a couple that put together like a pocket size pen with cap. And some of the old dip in ink kinds.

Ball point pens. How quaint. Bang your cane on the floor if you have a hard time hearing, OK?

Get a deep cycle 115AH 12 volt (1300WH) battery and string some 12V MR16 lamps around. It all depends on how much you want to spend and how long they need to run.

CY: Spend: As little as possible. How long: About two hours. We arrived at 6 PM, and the meeting broke up about 8 PM. About an hour of that needed light.

You can buy standard incandescent MR16 20W flood lamps for less than $1.50 each. You could run 10 of them for several hours from a marine battery. You can buy LED MR16 lamps but they're much more expensive.

CY: That's an excellent idea. The wiring wouldn't be too bad. The farmer was thinking to run some kind of 12 volt lights, and then be able to power the lights off a tractor or golf cart.

Probably four propane lanterns would be the most cost effective.

CY: Yes, that's better. As small as the pavillion is, one propane lantern would do the job nicely.
