Can I use these directly off of solar power? (Directly from battery to light bulb)

Yes. My solar panels are wired to a controller and a deep cycle 12 volt battery is also wired to it. The controller regulars 12 volts for this bulb. I've bn using it for almost 2 years and it works very well.

Yes. I use several in a cabin running off a battery charged by solar panel.
1813046
Yes. They are 12 volt and can be run directly off the battery. I currently have eight running off my battery bank.

Of course you can use these lights with your 12-volt system directly from the battery. I have used them most successfully here in the Sierra Tarahumara and even with vehicles to provide light while camping. The minimal draw and bright light makes them super--this is from a satisfied buyer, not an advertisement!

Yes. I have a Thunderbolt Solar Panel kit from Harbor Freight Tools that came with a Voltage controlled that the panels connect to as well as a deep cycle battery. I have these LED bulbs wired to the 12vdc output and they been working great for about two years. Hope this helps. Lee

I would suspect that you could connect to a battery with a converter. Have not done that. There are solar fans that would not require electric power of any kind. We used this for one summer, took it to a desert location, planning to get a solar fan for it soon.

Certainly! They are very bright and can be powered by as little as a 9V battery. A small solar panel could be used to keep a rechargeable battery pack charged for remote applications.

Yes they could. They are very tiny lights though. What I like is they have 3 flash settings and still mode. I have mine on an arbor in the back yard. But as stated the solar panel will need to be mounted for the most sun. Been pretty cloudy here so they don't always light up. If you want light every night best to go with electric lights.

Only if connected to power. Maybe if leaned or hung next to a window with direct sunlight.. Will not charge with light bulbs of course only direct sunlight

I don't believe that you can. I always remove my batteries when not in use. It helps you locate it in the dark and uses very little power.

I would say no..i have more than 1 battery.. you can..however..run dc power from the controller.....amazon does carry dc ..cfl..bulbs

YES. WE SELL THEM FOR THAT PURPOSE, HOWEVER IF YOU ARE USING THE BATTERIES FOR ANY PURPOSE, THIS 7 WATTS WILL NOT KEEP UP. SOLAR HOWEVER IS ALWAYS A FUN EXPERIMENT. IF 7 WATTS WON'T KEEP THE BATTERIES CHARGED, ADD MORE WATTS (PANELS) (OR LARGER WATTAGE PANELS). YOU COULD CHECK OUT OUR INFORMATIVE WEB SITE AT www.sites.google.com/site/solardoityourself, or even call me directly at 305-900-09596. thank you

Yes! Just look for the on/off button. I thought they were broken...being solar powered I thought they would just come on. NOT SO...you must turn them on!! They work great!

I don't know if you have to do that. I never did with any of my solar lights and my suggestion is to contact either seller or manufacturer. Its a good question but I am not sure if I am tye right one to ask since I am a consumer as well.

No they do not work by solar. You need garden light wiring for them. I thought they could be plugged into a regular outlet and I can't do that either. Sorry.

I don't think the solar batteries can be recharged that way but I'm not sure.Maybe contact the battery company and ask them.

I don't see why you can't do that. You'll have to use like and end of an extension cord because these lights have a power pack which converts them from 110vac to dc

I put them in solar lights with rechargeable capabilities. So far, after 10 months, They still go strong. Sorry, my application is not as yours.

I used these batteries for my cordless phone. I was just replacing what the phone had before . I wouldn't know if they can power solar lights
2268219
yes, you can. That is how we kept our battery charged all winter, connected to a solar panel.

The Solar Panel you could hook up to a battery but I don't think the light because it has a battery already in it. I would not mess with it!
