    Transfer switch for 12v emergency lighting?

    Okay, now you've confused me. But I have yet to do research on relays. Sounds like you are saying that the relay will drain my 12V battery. And I think a light/dark sensor would just keep me up at night. I'll be back next week with more questions after I do more research. Thanks, Brian

    Transfer switch for 12v emergency lighting?

    My project is merely in the thought processes right now. I want to make an emergency lighting system in case my power goes out. I'm thinking of using a 12v deep-cycle marine battery charged by a solar panel (or small wind generator) to light a string of LED's inside my house. Is there...
