[RE-wrenches] Solar 12 volt DC lighting for school in Haiti

[Allan Sindelar]

Lee,

Consider 3W LED floodlight fixtures. Talk with Doug Atkins of Quad Energy,
713-992-2884, dougd3 at yahoo.com. His LED wide-angle floodlights are sold
through Real Goods and directly to dealers as well. He sent me one and it is
well made and reasonably priced. The low draw of the LEDs allow you to
miniaturize the systems, or else design in tremendous reserve capacity
leading to long service life.

Subject: [RE-wrenches] Solar 12 volt DC lighting for school in Haiti

 

Can anyone recommend lights for a school in Haiti.  I am going there in a
couple of months to install a 12 volt solar PV system and need to illuminate
seven 16 x 20 foot school rooms.  I am so confused by all of the light bulb
options, base options, CFL vs LED, what wattage is required, etc.  I would
expect that two fixtures with bulbs would suffice for a room.  Any ideas?

There is no grid power available.this is really out in the boondocks.

 

Thanks

Lee
