Will a warm white LED lamp charge my EcoDrive?
 

Is the spectra emitted by an LED lamp usable by a PV cell? Thanks.

Stick it under the lamp, and see. I could certainly charge up my Casio
watch under a lamp, but that doesn't need much of a charge.

Keep in mind that if you are using a lamp to charge something via a solar
panel, you might as well stick the thing into the wall. It can't be very
efficient overall, so you will be paying for the electricity. ON the
other hand, if you use the solar panel to charge from the sun, you
actually are getting something for nothing (except for the cost of the
solar charger).
