Well I got all my solar panels and inverter installed.

Then I intentionally ran the batteries way down to start my first test of
the system

The panels did a good job of recharging and last night I plugged my OTT
lites into the inverter and tied for a while.

Now I know how silly I'm being, I'm even shaking my hear at myself, but I
found it really cool to be tying not only in light near the color temp of
sunlight but with energy provided by the sun. I got so excited I drug my
bride out to the trailer and explained the system to her ending, "So you
see, I'm really tying with sunlight as my light source ... how cool is that
?! "

That's not silly at all and it *is* cool.

You mentioned an Ott light and I just got a light the other day
that I think is better.

A little pricey but the desk version fits over the vice quite nicely,
has a good solid base and a clamp for traveling. I like it.

There's a lot more info at the Solux web site:

If you ever need to replace your Ott, you might consider Solux.
