G'Day Fella's,
I'm not long back from "A coupla days away bush........." and thought you may be interested in my present camp lighting system.
It is based on rechargeable 10,000 m Amp hr Lithium Ion battery, and has the option of using one or two strings of LED lights.
If traveling between camp locations, I recharge the battery (via my cigarette light plugs) on the move, or whilst the auxiliary battery is being charged by the solar panel, during the day.
At the moment (shorter nights), I usually only require 2 to 3 hours camp light, and one string of LED's (this provides plenty of light), drains it's supply battery, to 1/2 on the system indicator lights (4 x very small LED's).
During winter camping trips, the longer nights, will obviously use more battery storage.
Here's some images;
The first image is with my camera flash, to show you what where looking at. The rest are the LED system, and then it's and battery (along with a sunset and "Skippy").
I hope that is of some help.
D'oh!

Here is the 10,000 m Amp hr battery, with one LED light string plugged in (white tape on RHS) and also, two small LED battery indicator lights showing.

"Skippy" (with a pillion passenger on board), in my camp.
