First, they attract a lot of (possibly unwanted) attention, and second, they eat fuel. If we know it's a minor power out, we'll use ours, but if we think it'll be a while coming back, we start by rationing. :)RevAllysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08647500969442410706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2101360708311478186.post-6365826475208778332012-11-22T13:38:20.757-05:002012-11-22T13:38:20.757-05:00Hello Allyson

It’s cheap and reliable:<br /><br />Here is my micro-solar set up for under $100. I tested it running a 10” desk fan 24/7 for weeks. Now it is running LED lighting 24/7.<br /><br />http://www.instructables.com/id/Uses-For-Dead-Car-Batteries-And-Sealed-Lead-Acid-B/?ALLSTEPS<br /><br />How about a 360 hour flashlight:<br /><br />http://www.instructables.com/id/Easy-Flashlight-Mod-Increases-Run-Time-36X/?ALLSTEPS<br /><br />Lux<br /><br />PS.
