Hi all!
Apologies if this topic has been covered before, I had a search around but was unable to find anything!
Anyway, I am lucky enough to soon be renting a small yard with my friend, which consists of 4 stables and a barn. Whilst it has water, it does not have electricity, so I am looking in to ways to light the stables and barn, and possibly a bit outside.
My Dad has been kind enough to offer his 12v 22ah Yuasa UPS Battery (I've probably butchered that!) as a power source, and has suggested 12v LEDs would suit my needs, and directed me here to ask the experts! :twothumbs
Whilst I'm perfectly handy with the power tools and the actual putting stuff up part, I'm looking for some help finding out exactly what components I would required, and exactly what LED bulbs/strips/etc would be able to light up the barn (approx 18ft long x 15ft wide, and proportionately tall), and I'm assuming if it's capable of lighting the barn, it'll easily light the smaller, shorter stables? :thinking:
So I guess what I'm asking is as follows:
What would I need to run LED lighting off of a battery?
What LEDs would be capable of lighting up a large area well?
All explained in as simple terms as possible, as it's been a few years since I last did circuitry/electrics in Highschool :laughing:
