[RE-wrenches] Speaking of outdoor DC lighting...

[Isaac Opalinsky]

Andrew,

I used to work with Frank Patterson from The Lightup Company:
http://thelightupco.com/.  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.
