We will be setting up a lighting system in a couple of stables, running them off of a leisure battery. Ideally we need a light in each of the stables (2 stables), a light in the tack room, and a light, or 2, outside.
I understand calculating consumption and capacity required in ah etc, however am a bit confused by what lights/bulbs to use! Having looked at specifications of a 60w bulb, it says the voltage is 240v - so how would this work if connected up to a 12v battery? Or do you need to use 12v bulbs with a 12v battery? Where would I get them from?
Any advice would be appreciated, I think I understand one thing, only to get confused by something else!!
