Joule Thief Circuit
Posted: Wed Feb 19, 2014 11:21 pm
Hey Troy,
I see that you wire your lights directly to your battery bank. However, I would like to suggest looking on youtube for lasersaber's channel, and also check out his website at http://www.laserhacker.com" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
He has something called a joule thief circuit where he uses a 12 volt battery through a transformer to power 10 qty (10 watts each) LED light bulbs. The total wattage draw is only 20watts for all 10. I thought you might like to know if you don't already about this possibility so you can light more lights at a lower wattage.
You may also be interested in his "air battery" if you search his youtube videos
just an idea
thanks,
