Hi Bfreesani - how are the prices on those things looking nowadays?

Autostyle's prices on LED spots are way down on a year ago...

NR LED Spotlamp 14.5 x 3cm
- sold as a pair - R240-00

I see on the eBucks website, a company called Major Tech is even making LED security floodlights for the home. Definitely the way to go, especially if you're trying to get off the 'grid'...

HI GB

Those lights of ours have not come down unfortunately, the last prices I got is the same as we originally posted here. You are right, the LED technology is going forward in leaps and bounds and I see more and more globes and fittings available for home use. Still fairly pricey, but very low consumption.

The thing is, right now I'm not terribly worried about LED for home use - because all my lights now are CFL's and they don't cost me anything to run. LED's are still hugely expensive in comparison. But I'm getting more and more inclined to remove myself as far as possible from the 'grid' - so that when the crunch comes (not 'if' - WHEN!) I'm not left high and dry: viz. Eskom is not making any real progress to solve the supply-side problems - last I heard they were STILL selling below cost to certain users - and combined with their very fragile health and lack of reserve capacity it's just a matter of time until the entire network goes down.

So a couple of battery-packs, solar/wind charging, and you at least have lights at home. Gas can take care of the rest - refrigeration, water-heating, cooking, etc.

[Bfreesani]

With you in this one. Maybe we should sit down and come up with some ideas that we can market. I have always wanted to out together some nice simple wind charger units that simply use things like alternators and stay as far as possible at low (12Volt). Lighting is hugely available in 12V and now with LED and even the energy saver type globes also more and more in 12V. I like wind charging as you can get a bunch of power out at fairly low cost compared to solar that is in my eyes hugely expensive at around 6K for a simple 200watt panel. Alternators can get you 55plus amps and you simply need a big enough wind blade/pickup device and mother nature to fart.

I wonder what the battery prices are going to do as soon as they realize that the market is looking at supply for more than just cars.

[Goosebeak]

Two things here:
Firstly, I don't think we 'should' get together - I think we MUST get together! I also have a number of ideas we need to think about developing and promoting.

Secondly, I believe that the battery-market is going to lower its prices when the increased demand becomes reality - remember that a lot of the 'cost' of the battery is the price you pay for having the product sitting on the shelf, waiting for the customer to decide they want it. While that's happening, the company needs to keep going and paying salaries (a necessary evil, since we want them to be around to supply and service their products), and so that overhead is built into the price.

Yes, at first some companies will tear you a new one when the demand increases substantially - but the market will self-regulate and prices will come down over the long term. The ones who ripped you off in the beginning will then lose big time...

Wonder if this industry can make better use of e-commerce. Delivery charges are less than paying for a shopfront and staff. Most users actually do know what they are needing. I suppose you do have a guys that won't be able to install a battery themselves, but then he can just go on down with his newly delivered battery to a battery center and have it installed there, give in his old batter to cover the charges of this 5 minute job.

I see you are in Germiston. One of those placed I pack a picnic basket before leaving due to the distance ...

I am trying to get some other things going at the same time and money if seriously tight. Wife just started working and will only be getting first pay at end on August, till then I have to sponsor the fuel bill to get her to work. I feel bad myself as I am not working and I feel like I am not contributing at the moment.

You already have the primary problems licked - mail-order/internet is the ONLY way to go nowadays, but let's not make the same 'mistake' I saw a certain website owner make (no names, no pack drill - but he's since sold the site and given up the sport associated with it): He never had stock - he showed what was available, took orders (and money) and only THEN did he try to source the goods.
You need to have stock on hand, and only accept cash/xfers for goods that are available, in stock, and therefore now reserved for delivery.
Shop-front and counter-staff are for people who like to waste money - it's not like you're selling a thousand items, of which you have a variety of manufacturers and finishes, so the client is given a "look&feel&reputation&brand-loyalty" choice over and above plain and simple functionality - all you're interested in is the functionality.

Other than that, as you say, installation is simple - no-brainer, one might say - but those who really can't do their own installation can use either an approved installer, or an auto-electrician nearby. How much simpler can it really be than colour-coding cables and connections, and creating step-by-step instructions for EVERYTHING?

Now the age old problem to get something like this going..... MONEY!!!!
