Gerald,
 Dunno if you've observed the new highway signs that are solar-powered.
These things have a BUNCH of golf-cart batteries, not a whole lot of
solar collection, and LED "bulbs". Those things must be very, very
energy efficient; they're quite bright, yet run on a really minimal
solar system, I think it's MAYBE 300 watts, just twice what I have on my
trailer.

Interestingly, those signs can be controlled/programmed via cell phone,
and the LEDs are available in either 17 or 23 degrees of viewing angle.
(from the one company that I checked out) It must be very good technolgy
because they replaced the old Diesel-powered signs almost overnight.
