Calculations:
100 LEDs = 4.4 Watts, round up to 5 watts
100 Watts = 2,272 LEDs
10 Watt Black light flood

network cable CAT5 24 AWG copper wire P=V*I watts=voltage*amps
1 Amp (2.1 on the high end, using 1 Amp for calculations)
1 Amp x 12V = 12 Watts
one pair = 272 LEDs

2.2V LED: 0.044 Watts, 20MA
3.3V LED: 0.066 Watts, 20MA

100 LEDs would use about 5 Watts.
The calculator I used said if I use 40 watts (800 LEDs) for 8 hours a night with an efficiency of 80% and 4 hours of sun per day I’d need 53 Amp-hours.
33 Amp-hour batteries are pretty popular, so I’d need 2 in parallel.

I’m seeing 100 Watt ‘kits’ including the panel, charger and cables for under $200.
Batteries for $70 each.

monocrystalline or poly crystalline?
both the same except efficiency and color.
mono- more efficient, black, more costly
poly- less efficient, blue, less costly
shopping will require cost analysis vs reviews
