Andrew, If it helps any I think we paid $150 for IP65 rated 50 watt LED flood fixtures.

I am now thinking about using a SunSaver MPPT and a small "pocket inverter" to give myself more flexibility with the lighting options. Does anyone have any experience with the SunSaver MPPT Remote Meter? What functionality does it provide?

He has a bunch of standard fixtures, but can also custom build a lighting package. He's very familiar with the issues around DC LED lighting, like thermal management and stability. You will need fuses, both for the battery and the light.

Message-ID: <caktvxmsotvqbhz45uigudves0nmrb6fshth2l39lncm59r0...@mail.gmail.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" ... I am putting together my first small DC lighting system for my backyard shed. It will consist of: [1] 180W Schuco module [1] Morningstar SunLight charge controller [1] Deka AGM 12V, 32Ah battery [1] Trimetric meter And I need to find the right 12V LED flood light(s). Any suggestions? The purpose will be for winter evening b.b.q's and late-night lawn bowling matches in summer. Any other advice for how to execute this installation? Does the SunLight come with fusing or do I need to protect it externally? Happy holidays to all!
