Hi chaps,
i need a light in the chicken coop on from dawn till the auto pop hole opens, so the chickens get as much light as possible. The reason the pop hole doesn't open to let them out at dawn is because we have foxes that like a chicken breakfast(lunch and tea). I dont open the pop hole until 8am sometimes later.
I could put a sunroof in the chicken coop, but the other half(!) doesn't want one. So i was thinking about putting a small solar panel on the roof and some LEDs in the coop.
Would i be ok just to simply run five 1W LEDs directly off a 5W solar panel?
Cheers
Steve
