<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#00007F'> I returned yesterday
along with six students from IIT from a very similar project. Our system is
24V as they had a 24V inverter that was donated. Our rooms were ~ 24'X24'
with ceilings of ~ 10 feet. We used CFL's (20VAC) as they appear to be
readily available in Haiti. The lighting, as designed, was about twice what
we needed. </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>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?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>There is no grid power available…this is really out in the
boondocks.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks<o:p></o:p></p>
