Another generator question?

We Answered:

Both respondents are rather correct.
As far as solar goes, get one for like an RV, they are weather tested, stable, and work.
Also might wanna look at Marine solar panels, anything marine is gonna cost 75% more.
That is why I did most of my boats with RV stuff.
I do not work for those places, I just googelized them and they look legit.
Try craigslist, it is local and you get tpo actually see what you are buying.
The 3rd link is some specs,,
Going solar is best, saves gas, which will rise, and rise in price regardless of who is president of what
The maintenance is rather easy, get an inverter, two deep cycle batteries, a battery switch, voltmeter or fuse panel with a amp meter on it, about $45 at a marine store.
Total investment in solar is gonna be between $250 and $2500, depending on how much you will want to use, that is the nice part, solar sources can be added to as needed.

how bright is 12000 to 15000 mcd LED? thanks.?

We Answered:

If you have the LED specification, this handy calculator can give you a good estimate.

http://led.linear1.org/lumen.wiz

For example, if the beam angle is 45 degrees, the 15,000 mcd LED will illuminate that solid angle to about 7 lumens. 10 of those LEDs will give 70 lumens, which is like a 5W night-light light bulb. 50 of those LEDs will give off as much light as a 25W light bulb.

They make 250,000 mcd 0.5W LEDs, now. You might consider using those.
