Solsum ESL11W 11 Watt, 12V DC Fluorescent Light Bulb - Warm White

Written December 15, 2007

Flip! Click! Light!

The title describes what happens when you turn the light switch on. Flip the switch, there's a half second to one second pause, depending on battery voltage, and then a relay clicks and on goes the light.

We use 4 of these on a remote cabin. They work really well, except they're very dim when it's below freezing, and they take a few minutes to warm up to full brightness. At 10 degrees they do work, but will never warm up to full brightness until we get the wood stove fired up. They work when the generator is charging the batteries at 14.5 volts, and they work well even on a flat battery with a dead cell (down to about 8 volts or so). The temp range that states they operate to 120F is correct. Do not exceed it. Our damper failed, and with no door seal, the fully stoked stove ran out of control for a while. When the light mounted above the stove failed due to overheat, we could see that the stove was glowing a dull red.
