Hi folks-
So I have a left over solar panel (20w) and a controller, and I'm looking to get some garden lights going from them. The led kind, that look like traditional light bulbs on a string (ish). Except I can't find any thatll work obviously from a 12v source. Has anyone else rigged this kind of thing up ?
IKEA have a set, with a mains adapter, but checking out the power supply, it's 20v :-\
Cheers!

Maplin do that stuff. I have a straight set which came with a 240/12v transformer which I have up in the top of my high top which I can plug in as a standby should I have no hook up and the liesure battery is too flat to run my invertor. It is bright enough to read or prepare food etc. The 240/12 v transformer is in the waiting project store. They also do flexible strips but my smiley loop behind my lower front grill is an off cut from a kit from ebay which my grandson fitted under the stair banister in his house. There a are stacks on titnternet. Search for 12v string leds and you will be astounded - well maybe not
I can leave my smiley on with my sidelights or flick it on as a VW wave.
