Ha! Yeah. These days I pretty well only run the Onan to exercise the engine and generator side.
You're very welcome. Glad it's all working out for you.
For those who are concerned about heat, most of my LEDs are the bulb-type. A little light is lost to the reflector, but not much. And the bulbs are regulated, run relatively cool and are not attached directly to the reflector in an enclosed space. The only panel I currently have is in the range hood, i.e. attached to sheet metal and not enclosed.
Of course the Hams like RoyB, who are concerned about RFI don't want the regulated units. And he seems to be doing just fine with his $5 panels.
