My watt meters arrived so I'll fit either a 50 amp Anderson plug or a
Merit plug/ socket to it so I can plug it inline with the solar panel to let me know whats going on.
Plus my photo sensitive light switches arrived so I can set my
camp lights up and they will come on automatically as it gets dark.
Watt meters were only $15 Each off Ebay.
Not being familiar with these meters do I fit it at the solar panel end or at the Battery end

04 ST 3lt auto, not enough Mods to keep me happy, but getting there
I think you are obsessed with light TD, you would never be able to see the stars while camping with all your torches and lights that automatically come on when dark. lol
I prefer less light while camping, also means less bugs.

Only use very limited lighting at camp, we start of bright while eating and turn them down as the night progresses.
Just like my torches lol

Some flat LEDs arrived today these are going to be DRLs
flat as a tack with 3M backing tape and a bit over 170mm long x 10mm very bright too'
weird looking LEDs they call them Cob leds, paper thin.
All the yellow part is light.
Can see a million uses for these, and bugger all power draw
As for the watt meters they will need to have 50 amp Anderson plugs fitted as wires aren't long enough for the Merit socket.
Might pull it apart and see how hard it is ti fit longer wires

Pioneer stereo and speakers for our Patrol
Factory stereo was still in there, and played only a small selection of our CDs .... mainly the crappy ones!
Factory speakers were on their way out.
Pioneer is plays movies, has DAB, touch screen, reversing camera and all that jazz. Hubby kept himself entertained and fitted it all, with a little help from me, and a couple of beers along the way.
Very impressed with it
