8 DC Lights

8 DC Lights

DC lighting items priced on these pages are in-stock and ready to ship.

We have the largest selection of instock 12 volt dc lighting

and 24 volt dc and 48 volt dc lighting items available.

I started using 12 volt lighting back in the late seventies when there

was not much of a selection.

Things have changed since then.

The lights on this and the following pages have a place in alternative

energy, emergency, marine, remote location and backup power systems.

They are also very popular for use in rv's, utility / service vehicles

and trailers.

We specialize in dc lighting.

The lights we stock are ideal for emergency lighting and for remote

location use.

A note on using low voltage d.c. lighting along with an

inverter:

Many people use an inverter to power their home or remote site.

Lately we have been getting calls from people who have had their inverter

fail and are without lights.

The common theme is the helplessness in having a sizeable investment in

solar panels or a wind generator in addition to batteries, then having to use

kerosene lamps or flashlights for weeks until the inverter comes back

from repair.

Some of our customers are starting to use low voltage lighting to keep

from having to operate their inverters around the clock.

This reduces the noise level, cuts down on the battery drain as well as

extending the life of both the inverter and battery bank.

We ship Monday through Saturday.

CONVERSIONS:

The screw in lamps in this catalogue allow you to convert regular household

fixtures to use low voltage (12, 24 or 48 volts) direct current.

They can be either permanent or temporary.

12 volt lights are also an important part of an emergency preparedness

system.

A note on fluorescent light tubes:

The lifespan rating on fluorescent tubes is usually based on a minimum run

time of three hours at a time.

The more you turn a fluorescent lamp on and off, the shorter the lifespan will

be.

For a location such as a closet or hallway, where the light will only be on

for a short period of time, a halogen light may be a better choice.

Also, when you use a D.C. fluorescent lamp on low battery power it is harder

to get the lamp to light.

This will also greatly shorten the life of the tube and the ballast.

Make sure that the output wattage of the ballast is enough to operate the

fluorescent tube that you are planning to use.

A note on low voltage DC fluorescent light ballasts:

Low voltage D.C. ballasts (12, 24 or 48 volts ) are made to be used on DC only!

Operating them on too high of a D.C. voltage or any A.C. voltage can easily

ruin them and void any warranty.

If they are run at too low of a battery voltage, the ballast lifespan will be greatly

reduced.

The low voltage makes them work too hard to start and pulls enough amperage

to overheat them.

Trying to light a fluorescent tube that has a higher wattage than the ballast is

designed for can overload and burn out the ballast as well as damage the tube.
