Patience requested as I am not yet as evolved as the rest of you bloggers.
I've successfully built a solar charging 6v DC battery powered led system (steroided garden light). Success! even with switching! With my bloated confidence, I upped the load to two 2.5W led bulbs and encountered a loss in their luminosity (compared to direct [parallel] connect to batt.).
'Expert man' says I should install a relay between the output (-) side of the leds and the NPN/neg. battery lead.
I don't see how this would help. I'm reluctant to keep adding crap when I'm uncertain of my own crap. Does anyone think that this relay would solve my problem?
...Is anyone suspicious that 'expert man' is hiding nearby; pointing and choking back laughter?
Please help the lower primate understand.
