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 them for emergency lighting in the hallways & bathroom which
have no windows. I have gone up to six weeks without electricity after
a hurricane and they should provide enough light for the intended
application. There are 12V 48 LED modules on Ebay, if you want more
light.


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 have one of those. it's great for working in a tight space where a
halogen light would burn you becasue you keep bumping the light.


I'd have been better off with one of these

much higher wattage, but it provides useful light.


I have several of those, in a couple different wattages.


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?


I have a couple 12V jump packs with 18 AH gel cells to power them.
