Puppy Solar Power
Someone who knows about solar/portable electricity.?
I am very much thinking about purchasing something just like the link below and I've asked several people about these questions but no one can help me....
My question is... How long will this run something like a small normal 60 watt light before needing to be recharged? How long would it run something like a CD player? One last question... how long would it take to recharge this puppy back from no supply to 100% supply just using solar power?

Is there another way to get portable power out camping that will last longer, cheaper and is safer? If so... please explain exactly what to buy and how to set it up.
Thanks guys!!!
The specs given for this unit don't seem right. As someone else said they are usually advertised to supply more than you will actually get.
I'd suggest battery powered lights. If you simply must have more power then you should consider a gas powered generator.
When considering you power needs, you mentioned operating a 60 watt light. To run a 60 watt light requires .5 amps of current draw. To see what any electrical appliance requires to run look at the data plate. All electrical appliances are required to have that information printed on them.
Watts is equal to the voltage times the number of amps. A 60 watt light uses 120 volts times .5 amps, which equals 60 or 60 watts. Using the same formula watts is equal to voltage time amps you can figure the power required to run any item.
