@ All,  rest of photo's ...

@ If anyone's interested !!!




Here is photo's of my   "Solar powered  JT power supply box"

Box contains only 1x JT lighting the "Main Bedroom" at the moment, I will be adding more
JT's in the box with 400Fcaps, when I can afford it.

With these 2x meters, I can monitor the Solar Panel output or just switch on Charge switch and
I can monitor the 1st Jt with 400F Cap and watch it charge up by the volt meter, when the Cap
reaches about... 2.2 to 2.4v, on volt meter, I can then switch off Charge switch to the 1st Jt.
It only takes around 5-8 minutes to charge Cap up, then run Main BR light at night for about
2 hours, of course if I want it very bright it will be less than 2 hours or not as bright it will then last
much longer than 2 hours, I have a small variable resistor in Jt.

Photo 1 = I can put the switch into volts position, and monitor "Solar Panel" output,
               or to the Amps position which will give me output in Amps.
               
Photo 2 = Full side view of box.

Photo 4 = Full front view of box, with "2x meters" and "Solar charge switch" for 400F cap.
               And small switch for "Main bedroom" light.

Photo 5 = Inside look of box, there is room for 3x Jt's  across top and 3x Jt's across bottom.

Photo 6,7 = Close up view of Jt with 400F cap.

Photo 8,9 = LED bulb mounted on ceiling beam, lit with Jt in box, however I took this photo
                  when power in Cap was fairly low at about 1.2 to 1.4v, much brighter at 2+ volts.

Photo 10,11 = Close up view of "volt meter" showing Cap voltage.

Photo 12 = Close up view of side of box switch.

Photo 14,15 = Close up view of front box with top switch "OFF / CHARGE"
                      and small switch "OFF / MAIN BR"

Photo 16,18 = Close up view of left side of box with "MAIN BR" next to screw terminal that has
                      twin wire going to ceiling light.

Good Morning
Yes I am very interested. But is there a way you could make the pictures focused and perhaps smaller. They seem grainy and I am not sure if it is my computer or the pictures.
Thanks
