Hey All!
Im looking for some help / advice at the moment. Im a complete newbie to the world of electronics so i need as much help as possible.
Im just building a nice decking at the back of my house, and would like to inset a series of Super bright LED's around it for night lights. I have seen the little individual units that are availible, but would like to make a large scale version powering up to 50 LED's.
I have bought myself 50 superbright LED's, (10,000MCD - dont know what the significance of that is), and all the fixtures for the walls. I have been looking for a solar panel, and found a plethera of different ones, at different prices. Ideally i would like to spend as little as poss, but enought for it to be effective.
I have found a panel that i think may be suitable, but do not really understand what im looking for, or how much power these LED's are going to take to power. I guessed that the 12v is suitable, but i am unsure as to the wattage.
ONE NEW AMORPHOUS SILICON SOLAR PANEL, (12 VOLTS , 5 WATTS, 320MM x 250MM) METAL FRAMED WIRED WITH ABOUT 1 METRE LENGTH OF CABLE + BLOCKING DIODE
EXCELLENT FOR VEHICLE BATTERY MAINTENANCE AND GREAT FOR USE OVER WINTER TO AVOID BATTER DRAIN. IDEAL FOR INDOOR OR OUTDOOR USE. EXCELLENT FOR USE IN GARDEN LIGHTING, WATER FEATURES, CARAVANS,BOATS,SHEDS,OUTHOUSES OR FOR ANY POWER PROJECTS.
Also if anyone has any suggestions for wiring / battery usage i would be so unbelievably grateful!
I know i sound useless, but cant find anyone to help me with this problem.
