There is a local salvage place that sells all sorts of stuff and I came across theas 24 LED UFO camping lanterns $4.25 each and bought a fiew took them home and was SO impressed with the amount of light I went back and bought a dozen more! :hahaha::confused_ma::yes: (the lights I got look like the 48 just one less row)

They run on 4 AA batteries and put out a lot of light:yes: I am thinking :thinkey:

with a simple low voltage wire a whole string of thease things could be hooked up to any 6 volt DC source and I have some REAL COOL and CHEEP LIGHTING.:applause_:23_30_104:

The ones I got only have 24 LED lights and I am impressed , the others have WAY more LED lights! :yes::23_30_104: Granted they are CHEEP China Plastic but they do make a lot of light happen!:wink::yes::111::4_1_72:

From the same website you posted these look like they'd be easy to rig up for home (backup) lighting:

QWAK,RKaz,When they first started making LED ithey were very expencive because they used the same tecniques as chips -- as it turned out some IMPURITIES were GOOD :yes::36_1_25: and made them BRITER and colors and much much cheeper to manufacture! :yes::23_30_104:

About 20% of the HEAT load in a modern office building with floesent tube lights come from the WAISTED energy of the transformers! :36_1_25::yes: LEDS just make LIGHT no HEAT! :thinkey::yes:

Even with just using the AA batteries a fiew of them UFO light would be great in a power failure:yes: I am going to turn on a 24 LED light with 4 new AA batteries and see how many hours it will go giving USABLE light! :thinkey:
