not a very scientific test i agree, but i will carry on for another week or so, perhaps leaving them on longer.
but i am well happy with this so far. i plan to get a 12v adapter to charge my walkie talkies (4 of) and another adapter
for the charging of various other size battries.

Great work - Do you have access to a small meter, and you can measure your Load Current -Amps-. - - P/V=A or ie:- 1W/12V=?mA
Remember you can Backward Calculate the above to show you what size of Panel you need for more lights maybe .
