I greatly appreciate your humor landyacht. It is most certainly not "lost" :)
I purchased a new small flat mill file at the ferreteria today. Until I finagle a way to get a reload of connectors down here I am going to be forced to reach for the ball cap that is embroidered with "Patience Is A Virtue".
For some good news, I am certainly not disappointed with the performance of the new 30 watt 36 volt LED chips. They light up a directional area much better than a 150 watt flood light and actually can be compared with a 500 watt quartz floodlight but the LED would not win the contest. Sixty watts worth of chips would dominate the comparison. Too bad the booster input cannot handle the 24 volt bank. 2-1/2 amps on 12 volts (+ booster inefficiency) is still an amazing amount of light for exterior use. I have a different tack for outside lighting in which the lamps are placed well outside the habitation zone which means far fewer insects. If I keep stuffing the Geckos by shining a UV chip on a white board I'm going to have to fit them with lift kits.
Tomorrow the campaign continues...
