Right then... recharge the battery and pat myself on the back?
it sounds like with a full battery this will work fine....
Now, when Im done the whole thing will run 18 LEDs at 20mA each (360 total) - according to the it Kits information that should only consume less the 100mA.
so in theory, the whole thing should only consume about 460mA.
With a fully charged 12v 7ah battery, I should get about 15 hours use out of it, right?
my next question (which, I should possibly open a new thread for) is do I need 2 batteries to see it through the night, until the solar panel (which I have not added yet) can recharge it, ready for the next night ? or will it be ok with just the one battery?
Thanks to all - you guys Rock.
