Default LED Failure Poll (low voltage lighting)

The 12 volt multi bulb panels you referenced. They look like
they would be good for lighting a work bench. I wonder if
they would be good for home lighting. Maybe point them
towards a ceiling, or crinkled aluminum foil for diffuser.

I bought one of these

on sale, cheap. It does put out light. Rather than light the
work area, it shines a blue spot on the far wall. I'd have
been better off with one of these

much higher wattage, but it provides useful light.

The multi LED panels, who can tell? Might make good power
failure lights. Run off a car battery, or a couple 6v
lantern batteries, or some other option. Marine battery, and
low voltage wiring?

You're welcome. I bought four of them to put some 12V
emergency
lights in the house. If I like them, I'll buy more to put
in the shops.
