12v lights for shed

If it has to be 12v, I would suggest getting a caravan/boat 12v fluorescent strip light (or two). Low power consumption and ideal for area illumination. Supplemented by localised LED lights where a brighter work light is needed.

As an alternative, there are fluorescent camping lights and even hand torches if a lower light level is required (or a smaller battery/longer runtime).

A solar panel plus electronics and battery will power a small fluorescent lamp overnight, no problem.

I got some for my garden pond.... really good...after the original 60w halogens I fitted increased by electricity bill by some 10 quid a quarter... the replacement lamps believe it or not are equivalent to 40W halogens and use 2W and are warm colour unlike the cold blue you get from cheaper ones. The ones I got were over 40 quid for 2.... but due to the amount of time they are on (switched on automatically by darkness) I reckon payback in less than 18 months. anyway...this is the site...

thanks,

site bookmarked.

I've used Ultraleds for lots of lights - for my boat and sidelights for the car. They are good and will exchange faulty items. However, in my experience, if you get a bulb that flickers just leave it on for some time and iy may well sort itself out. One of my side lights flickered for a week or so and has been no trouble since, that was a year ago now.
