I just ordered some 5 watt, 10 watt and 15 watt 12 VDC CFL lamps, gonna give them a try in the RV to see how well they might replace those inefficient 15 or so watt incandescent lamps like RV's and Boats use. Of course, LED lighting is even more efficient and I am considering them also, but will give a few of the 12 volt CFL's a try.
When we dry camp where theres no shore electrical power we hardly use any 12 VDC stored battery energy in the day, maybe an occassional vent fan or the water pump. Then in the night theres a bit of light, vent or water pump use, but with some solar panels if its a sunny day the batteries can pretty much recover the next day. All that (I have 460 Amp Hrs of Battery energy Storage via 4 Deep Cycle 6 volters) plus solar and an Onan genset if all else fails, dry camping (like Utah and Colorado BLM and Natl Forest lands or Army Corp of Engineers, free or fairly cheap with Access Senior Pass) at elevations where its warm days n cool nights, camping isnt too expensive....
Anyone used the 12 VDC CFL's ???????????? Like them????
