G+_Jerrold Ford Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Has anybody had experience with trying to use a solar cell to light a 5 meter strip of LEDs like we've seen on previous episodes of KH? I'm trying to help my 9 year old with a science project. I originally got a 3.6V 100Ma cell from Frys which wasn't near enough. Just looking for some suggestions.

G+_James Hughes Posted January 29, 2016 Share Posted January 29, 2016 Go to amazon and put in the voltage needed. You will find a bunch, just make sure they can deliver before your deadline as many come from China. Might want to have the solar panels charge a battery and run the lights off of it.

G+_Jerrold Ford Posted February 21, 2016 Author Share Posted February 21, 2016 Thanks for all the comments and suggestions. We ended up finding a 12"x36" panel at Harbor Freight that lit up 2 strips for the project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
