I want to convert a regular light fixture into solar for inside.

Question

I would like instructions on making a small shop-light fixture solar.  The light will hang inside the gazebo so it must be wired like fixtures that have the solar panel set somewhere away from the fixture, attached to a roof or wall or ground.  Does this make sense to you?  Can anyone help me out?  Thanks in advance!

Terri.....What you want to do is possible, but I think you should read this article first. It's long, but worth the reading so that you will understand what you are trying to accomplish. In essence, you will need a solar panel to charge an electrical source to convert into energy to light your lamp. It most likely have to be a 12 volt system as it will be to expensive to create a 120 volt solar system. Good reading, Gary http://science.howstuffworks.com/environmental/energy/solar-cell.htm
