I would think that any LED 12 volt light or even a Coleman lantern would work.


I have nothing clever to put here.

LED lighting for an RV works great.

Yep I'm with Bernie on the LED RV lightning. And if you got a clear view of the sky could probably keep your battery up with inexpensive solar charger. Set it up like a fencer battery.

I got lots of LED 12 volt lights for my off grid cabin right in the automotive section at Walmart. Also have a couple Paulin propane cabin lights on the wall, I would say more light than a 100 watt bulb.

Cheap 150 watt inverter and run any standard led 110v bulb -- lasts quite a while on a 100ah battery. We take a setup like this to light our tent when elk hunting (i usually include a solar panel and charge controller) - we run 2 60watt equiv led bulbs(9 watts each) - a battery usually lasts 3-4 days of 4+ hours a day.

Get yourself one of those “overcompensating” light bars the wannabes put on the grill of their jeeps.

how are you charging the battery , solar or bringing it back and forth each day?

there are a bunch of flood lights for tractors and work trucks


a colman lantern would also put out some probably much wanted heat

I found this very handy for all sorts of tasks
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08DDTV9M3/ref=emc_b_5_i?th=1

comfortable and every where I look is lit up , car work , splitting firewood in the dark, running the snow blower at night , basements and crawl spaces easy to bring in the house and plug in to charge every night when you are done
I have 2 now the hard hat has mounts for one front one back , when one flashes you have 15 minutes left just trade them out and keep going

they last 8 hours on the flood light setting

This is what I run and would recommend also- 3,000 lumens and a variety of price points- I have the M18 Packout light with charger and it's mounted on the back of an ATV rack- lights up field work area like daylight

Amazon sells LED aircraft landing lights... Thought about getting some to put on my Jeep. We have a lot of lazy dipsticks around here who don't believe in dimming their brights for oncoming vehicles.

Figure I'll give em the usual quick courtesy flick like normal. If they persist, bye bye retinas.

I ended up getting RV lighting from amazon. got five lights for 44 bucks. I installed three yesterday and i am going to install the other two today. these lights are perfect for my application. I ordered a five switch rocker switch panel. my fur shed has a loft at each end so i plan to order one more light. I put four in the big open area and put one under the loft and when i get the other one i will install under the other loft. I wired the first two in the open area in a series on the right side and the two im installing today will be in a series also, that way i can save on my battery. depending how long my battery life is i may put a solar charger on it so i dont have to unhook and bring to the house to charge.

I was sitting at a light one night, and the guy going the othe way had his high beams on. Gave him the quick flash with no results. So I gave him the 1 second heads up bunghole flash, again nothing. Rolled forward a bit to adjust my aim and hit the KC's,paint on his hood blistered, and vinyl back seats melted! Instant response this time. LOL Cop saw the whole thing, chased me down, and pulled me over, LHAO, Just wanted to shake my hand!

Look on Amazon for boat lights. Any and everything you can imagine is listed for 12volt. Just picked up some bar and flood lights for my new boat. Don’t want to end up like a guy in Kentucky. grin
