Its not a regular lead-acid battery, but a lead-calcium, as my primary need was for 100% sealed and spill proof.

I don't need to use the jumpstart very often, but hopefully this from their blurb means I shouldn't have any trouble.

"EX24 - This range of leisure batteries are of a lead calcium construction which means the plates have been hardend giving the battery a longer life and better starting capabilities than your conventional leisure batteries"

Sorry to bring up something from the first page but you mention not using a car battery. We've got a secondary battery in our vehicle (think it uses a split charge relay but not sure - husband's not around to ask and he fitted it).

Is the reason for not using one that it would become flat (in which case, that's fine for us as it's re-charged during the day when the car's on the move) or is there another reason related to the battery output?

Hi

I have been looking for suitable 12 volt bulbs, thinking of trying to make a hanging pendant type light.

(Picture of the outwell one)

Looking on ebay and found this bulb. 

Maybe a little expensive, but having a standard bayonet fitting I could always change the bulb and connection when running 240v/12v

Rex - Where did you get you battery box from?

Regards

David
