Fingers crossed on my little solar adventure! That's absolutely great stuff! So pleased I asked the questions! Thanks John you've explained it great!

Thanks for the link!! I'll take a look.

I mean each parallel link. So 3 lines with 8-10 lights on each. Ah ok, good to know! So in hindsight I went probably the best way even though this is a starter setup. Hmm ok that's food for thought on the additional lamps then. I've already got these ones so it'll be interesting to see if...

Ah ok! Thank you for clearing that one up :) Ok, I'll give the installation a pass and will get an electrician if it all goes as plan to wire them in outside. Thanks again for your response John!

Wouldn't I have needed a transformer, or could I have just connected directly to the battery using a connector? This is a "testing / bedding in attempt" to check on power usage, etc. I will actually require around 30 lights in the long run if this goes well, so it'll probably be 8-10 on each...

Good morning gents. Thank you for your replies. The 4 lights that are over 30m in total distance are : 4 x 5w (40w EQV) 6500k Cool White Auraglow LED Light Bulb - Operating Voltage: 220-240v (https://goo.gl/gwYuuY) Maybe I've gone OTT but just got a £6 safety adaptor RCD for the 4 that I'll...

Thanks for the reply! Sorry I forgot to explain the light setup. 4 of the lights are going to be over 30m from the extension. 2 within 5m Wouldn't it lose power over that distance on a 12v feed? Another reason why I'm running each light off separate plugs. Unless I'm wrong or I've not...

Hi all, Completely new to the solar panel era and am pretty much a novice in electrical circuits but love learning new things and am fascinated by how things work and run. From my very basic reading up so far I've decided to go out and purchase a little setup to ween myself into this easily...
