[VAC] Re: outside light cover
Bob,
You might want to look at some of the white LED arrays. All light, no heat.
Not cheap, but typically burn about 10 mA per LED. A number of places have
direct replacements for the lamps in automotive applications, e.g.. 12 volts,
same socket base. I left a 2 LED flashlight on over the weekend one time, and
used the same (AA) batteries for an additional 3 weeks before I got around to
changing them. They are efficient as all getout, and will never burn out in OUR
lifetime. Take some nasty bumps as well.
