    Hi Karen,

    Well I handle it the simplest way i could find! 

	my system is composed of: 
	2 12 volt solar panels 
	2 12 volt car batteries 
	10 12 volt halogen mini lights on wire tracking.

    These lights are the same ones used in the home that come on tracks
    with a transformer . All I have done is take off the transformer and
    wire a small fused junction box off of a motorcyle in line with the
    batteries. 

    the principle is that the lights run off of the car batteries and the
    Solar panels keep the batteries topped up! clean, safe, quiet and
    reasonably cheap (the whole outfit was built for just under =A3100 ) 

    Out doors I have managed to run this set up for almost the entirety
    of a 3 day show before the batteries were to exhausted to power the
    bulbs anymore. 

    If anyone wants more info or a basic wiring diagram E-Mail me off
    list and I will be happy to send details.
