Costco sells a 300w flood light that only uses 55w. Can I hook this up using a 12v-120v transformer without jeapordizing the H2 battery?

I really didn't want to just plug it in & risk electrical fire http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_eek.gif without checking with you geniuses first!

I thought if possible, it would make a great off-road light! http://www.elcova.com/infopop/emoticons/icon_biggrin.gif

I don't think you'll have a problem. With 12V you'll be using under 5 amps, which you can run for hours on the H2 battery.

But how does a 300W bulb run on 55W?

One of those ultra-efficient fluorescent tube tinghy.
