Do they make 12volt Compact Florescents
Do they make 12volt DC Compact Florescent bulbs?
I have not seen them in stores, but that dont mean they are not made. I am asking because a friend has a cabin and dont have electricity nearby. They want a fortune to run the lines and hook it up. He is considering a generator, but for now he put a fixture on the ceiling in each room, with a switch for each room, and installed these 12V bulbs made for 12V trouble lights. Then he hooked a 12V car battery to it the system. It works well, as long as he dont turn on too many lights at once, but it drains the battery pretty fast. That got me wondering if they do make the compact florescents. I know they would last much longer on a battery. Anyone know? Mark |
