CFL or LED it doesn't matter as long as I can see.

The point isn't to reduce energy the point is to run with no generator or city power when the power goes out directly off my battery bank w/no inverter needed.

This way, I don't need an inverter... EVER. Generator for big stuff, batteries for lights.

I want to use standard fixtures wire them for 12v, and use the correct bulbs, so thus my question/search for quality 12v CFL or Leds, etc
