Lee, Consider 3W LED floodlight fixtures. Talk with Doug Atkins of Quad Energy, 713-992-2884, [email protected]. His LED wide-angle floodlights are sold through Real Goods and directly to dealers as well. He sent me one and it is well made and reasonably priced. The low draw of the LEDs allow you to miniaturize the systems, or else design in tremendous reserve capacity leading to long service life.

I am going there in a couple of months to install a 12 volt solar PV system and need to illuminate seven 16 x 20 foot school rooms. I am so confused by all of the light bulb options, base options, CFL vs LED, what wattage is required, etc. I would expect that two fixtures with bulbs would suffice for a room. Any ideas? There is no grid power available.this is really out in the boondocks.
