I run two 75 watt incandescent light bulbs all weekend long on two 12v marine batteries. Thats plenty of light for me. I wear a head lamp for trips to the latrine. You can get the bulbs at NAPA auto parts, 50W or 75W for around $8 a six pack. Presently I take the batteries home and charge them which is a pain because its a hike in cabin. But I have a 35ft light post that was given to me and I plan on putting a solar panel on it soon.
Heres my cabin.
Cool cabin. Why up on stilts? Is that for deep snow? Any plans to put fencing to keep critters from underneath? Somehow, it seems these NEVER can be mouse-proofed. Where is it?
How about lamp oil for lighting? Or solar power, the topic of this thread?
