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.

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 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 have several of those, in a couple different wattages.

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