Thanks Fishin, I am looking for something that can be used in their lamps and lighting fixtures, as well as being low voltage. Stirling's entire house burned flat in the Malibu fires in 1991, so anything that could potentially start a fire is a very serious threat.... this is one of the main reasons I would like to eliminate the gas generator.

Hello sign people! I made a new friend last week, he built a house out of the local stone high up in the Malibu hills 30 years ago! His family lives off of solar power, and an artesian well that he dug himself. They are completely off the grid. They are using some small photovoltaic panels and car batteries for storing electricity. However, the compact fluorescent lights they are using aren't as effecient as the LEDs we all use for our signs. Does anyone have any experience with lighting their homes with LEDs? I know there are several products out there for use in regular light fixtures, but I don't know which ones are reliable. Thanks for any help you may have to offer. I will publish my results once I help him switch this system over to LED, my goal is to make their lighting and home electricity needs 100% solar... currently they use a gasoline generator for addtional electricity.
