When we first installed our solar we relied on the inverter and a couple 110v lights. I've since installed mostly 12v and downsized one 20w 110v LED fixture to 11w, the 20w was too bright and power hungry. The 12v fixtures are 3w each and provide plenty of light. Nearly every bunk has one now

I've got them at camp which is where they make perfect sense. Our use of propane has cut down by 1/3 and our disposable battery use is down probably 80%. Something is wrong with our system though, heavy snows damaged one panel mount last winter and it ran out of power when my folks were there
