I have one in my hay barn and one for my barn aisle. Everything comes on one
box, quick to set up, has an on/off switch but no photo cell. Someone who
knows what to to could probably put this together a lot cheaper but these
were there when I needed them and still working well after 4+ years. The
battery pack is replacable.
Saw a solar "security light" at Home Depot with a photo cell but couldn't
figure out how to wire in an on/off switch easily.
What I really need is someone to tell me how to hook up my big solar panel
to some batteries for good lighting/radio, etc for my barn - like what kind
of lights to buy, what kind of wire to use, how to make a mounting bracket
for the panel, some basic wiring diagrams. Is there a "basic, simple barn
solar for dummies" book. Everything I've found gets so complicated -
inverters and all that. I just want some good light at night and some tunes.

Hi Guys,

Do any of you use solar lighting for your barns or outbuildings?  I
have been looking for a light for a small shed. The light needs to be
inside and I can mount a solar panel on the roof.  I can't seem to find
anything except the "stick in the ground" solar garden or pathway
lights.

It doesn't need to be a bright light.... say 20 to 30 watt equivalent.
And it needs a light sensor to come on at night.  Any of you smart
people got any ideas?
