not trying to plug or sell anything in particular, but i've used these for a long time. They have a low glow when noone is around, then they brighten to full brightness when you walk up.
http://www.harborfreight.com/36-led-solar-security-light-69644.html We put one under our shade structure and it is awesome. It basiclly turns the light on for you when you go in the hut at night, and provides a little low illumination for when you open the door so it;s not to glare - y. Also, we have put a red gel over it, to give it color and keep it from messing with our night vision. This is another system they have with a small 2.6 amphour battery, PLENTY for overnight. you can also use it for 12 volt accessories, such as charging your ipod, etc. http://www.harborfreight.com/39-watt-solar-power-system-68694.html you may also want to look at this, a 12 volt light with fan. a small panel outside to a battery would be great. https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&tbm=shop&q=tent+fan&oq=tent+fan&gs_l=products-cc.3..0l4j0i5l6.1761.2850.0.3074.8.8.0.0.0.0.75.574.8.8.0...0.0...1ac.1.Mr8AVKIaIco We use this one because you can hook up a 12 volt battery really easy, and it charges from a single 12v panel. we made a little tent power system with a 3-way auto plug thing, and it rocks. https://www.google.com/shopping/product/7278600837718479453?hl=en&q=tent+fan&oq=tent+fan&sa=X&ei=liHoUeu5O4jxiwLEr4DAAg&ved=0CH8Q8wIwBA not sure, but wondering if you could put rechargeable batteries in their, someone know? Finally, we have used one of these every year at BRC, they work GREAT! people stand in front of it, it mists, a line forms, AWESOME! https://www.google.com/shopping/product/8991341042934858673?hl=en&q=tent+fan&oq=tent+fan&sa=X&ei=vCHoUbLIEJGYigKSyoCYBA&ved=0CC4QrRI It also helps keep the humidity up in the general area of your shade structure so it's not so hard on your nose / dry nose / bloody nose... etc On Thu, Jul 18, 2013 at 10:01 AM, Jeremy Shaw <jer...@n-heptane.com> wrote: > No Idea.
