    is that 30ftx30ft? if so that's alot of space to fill. We have 8 of these to light a 27ftx8ft space... (warm white) New 1M 3528 SMD 60 Leds LED Strip Lighting 12V DIY Party Clubs Decor 5 Colors | eBay We have 2 225ah Lucas batteries, they are very good quality and also come in a 110ah version.... LUCAS 663 / 664 HEAVY DUTY | 12V 110ah Battery. Truck | Lorry | Leisure | Marine | eBay and for a charge controller i'd get a Steca pro series. (a pr2020 would suit your needs) It has a display screen that tells you how much battery is left, how many amps the panel is porducing and other cool functions. Steca PR 1010, PR 1515, PR 2020, PR 3030 Steca Elektronik GmbH and for the panel a single 80w monocrystaline should suffice and you can always add more.

    woke up at 4.30am to a proper gale, lashing it down. back to sleep, just woke up (day off, no climbing today!) and it's calmed a little bit, but still must be 30mph+ with the odd 60mph gust.

    I live in a truck with LED SMD strip lights all round, powered by leisure batteries and solar panels, a 1m section will provide alot of light and only use 0.3amps, although they only really provide ambient light, so you'll need a lamp or similar with a more powerful light (20w) for working on stuff in the shed. We have 3 x 80w solar panels feeding 450ah of batteries and on a sunny day in july we were getting 12-14amps from 11am-3pm. Now we're lucky to get 6amps midday.(prob down to 2 in jan/feb).

    That will work. Fully charged it will last 6.5 hrs, that's without taking the panel into account. How many watts is the panel? It would be worth getting a cheap solar charge controller to prevent damage to the battery. Sent using Arbtalk mobile app

    Never used one but they look like a great addition to any company. ps. Seeing 'gloria' threads reminds me of this classic. [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxygqSTO1lQ]Patti Smith Gloria - YouTube[/ame]

    At the moment I'm just using SRT for access if its a big tree or difficult to isolate a branch with the throwline, then switch to DdRT for working.

    the daily express is like the mail with dementia. i always have a chuckle looking at the front page bullshhh about the weather and diana. did you notice this quote on the story?
