You want to lay underground cable to the lights and convert them to 120 volt ac wiring and screw light fixtures.
Can you convert solar lights to low voltage.
I have some really durable solar lights that i purchased but do not like the short duration of lighting provided.
Do i understand correctly.
I have some very cool solar lights that are very unique that don t do very well as solar lights due to too many trees providing shade.
I wanted to find out if it s practical to convert these to electric with a transformer so i can run them as low voltage.
You can place a solar panel where it gets light for power and run the cable to the fixtures.
I have used one for light inside my shed before.
It is somewhat like low voltage lights without having to have a need for a 110 volt power source.
The benefits of led conversion.
They currently use 2 1 5 volt rechargable batteries and use a single led light bulb.
That is why they are used on solar lawn lights.
The other two types of lights will deplete the accumulators dc power much.
Led lights consume much less electricity than incandescent of fluorescent lamps.
Battery bank you need at least one deep cell battery to power your lights and it should be rated for at least 150 amp hours to allow the system to compensate for cloudy days and to power the inverter.
The more charge the battery can hold the longer it will power your lights but keep in mind that a bigger battery needs a bigger solar array to keep it charged.
I want to convert them to a low voltage system and am not sure how to calculate the voltage requirment for these bulbs since they are not rated by.
I ve looked everywhere for 12v lights anythi.
