[QUOTE="ProspectorPete, post: 589697, member: 3820"] I bought the same kit a couple of months ago, doubt you'll need to run all 5 bars flat out as they're pretty bright, the dimmers are great and I also bought the 2 x orange extensions, I only use the orange extensions as they don't attract the bugs like the white ones. If you're only using them for say 2 nights and 3-4 hrs dimmed to 50% per night you won't even need the deep cycle battery IMO as I've found mine use very little power, if you were running a 12v fridge then deep cycle and solar panel would be needed but just the lights I'd be surprised if you'd use more than 2 bars of light dimmed for a small camp. Might be worth buying a small plug in battery monitor and run them off your vehicle for the first trip before forking out for battery and solar panel, just a suggestion. [/QUOTE]
