Planning to incorporate a Light Dependent Resistor to the circuit design to switch on the light by night fall and off by day break.
Suggestions please , thanks
From dusk till dawn is about 12hours of light, but varies with daylight savings and soltice. You can use 1 watts or 3 watts high power LEDs in parallel combination of whatever number of chips you intend to use. You can use LED drivers (specific for the number of LED chips series-parallel arrangement) or you can construct simple current limiting resistor circuits as drivers. The 1 watt chips usually have a running current of 350mA, 3 watts chips 700mA while both operate on voltage range of between 3.2v to 3.5v. You may or may not incorporate LED lenses or beam diffusers to widen the beam angle of your lights.

Your choice of power storage could be smf battery (heavier, cheaper) or lithium chemistry based batteries (cleaner, light weight but costlier). You will need CC specific for the battery types you intend to use. Some CC come with dusk till dawn option where they sense the solar power voltage to determine when to output power to the load (lights). In such case, you may not require photocell.

I have tried this before and I wasn't totally satisfied with the set up (due to the limited time I have for leisure from work) so I just went with the simpler options.

For the solar stand alone street lights, I purchased some solar light system from konga and just hardwired a LDR for the dusk-dawn cycle. There is one called "saroda" with 6v 3.5watt panel and 6volt output to two 1 watt bulbs claimed to run for 10 hrs on both bulbs after full charge. The batteries are 2200mah Li-ion in 2s 2p configuration. I modded the power consumption of the lights using limiting resistors to further extend the working time to around 16 hours but with some hardly noticeable reduction in intensity of the lights. The panels are placed on top of each pole.

For the wall security lights, I opted for 12volt DC set up. Got 12-24volt AC/DC powered lights (the 1 watts type consumes around 0.10A at 12volts producing around 100 lumen). It's made with 5050smd LEDs and is bipolarity, meaning it works in any direction you have the polarity. About 10 of such connected in parallel configuration. Dusk-dawn cycle is via LDR. All powered by a portable 12volt 12ah solar system(20 watt poly solar included) which I got off of konga. I recently changed the source to a Li-ion powered set up.

The fridge draws more power because you open it frequently and it has normally larger volume with less stored energy ( running at 6-8 deg) versus -14 /-18 of the fridge.

if you use freezer like fridge it will also consume power. Check the nameplates or use power analyser to decide average consumption as every model is different but typically the bigger fridges have much more efficient compressor nowadays
Thank you. This comes in handy.

My 2year old 1.5 kva Luminous inverter started showing overload and low battery light recently during charging.

Now i have noticed that the internal cooling fan has stopped working and the inverter seems to be overheating so I decided to bring a standing to cool it while it charges. The overheat light goes off when its cool and comes on when hot.

Pls is there a way i can change the fan to see if it will solve my problem.
You should be able to get replacement fans from your usual computer parts store. Perhaps get a marching voltage, dimension and power from some old scrapped PC tower; that's if you've already diagnosed the fan as the primary fault.

I guess nothing will happen. Yorubas mostly will not protest as long as his guilt is proven beyond reasonable doubt. Ditto Tinubu. His kinsmen will simply tell him to go serve his term and finish it quickly so he cam come home and rest. Even after he must have finished serving his term, ONLY his family will do a homecoming for him. Yorubas as a whole will have moved on with the betterment of their own lives.

Hmmm. It's funny how they usually exit in some serious manners. Three G-guys all perished in a car crash (Lexus es300) sometime last year, taking a primary school bus driver with 'em.

The other day, another one fell from a height to his death.

December 2017, another was resuscitated from the brink of death in a hospital after he slipped into a 12 hours coma following an overdose of weed. He kept demanding for discharge against medical advice some 2 hours after resucitation. He said he needed to go get something in his car. He wouldn't even delegate the ward orderly on that errand as whatever it is needed to be retrieved by himself from his car.

He eventually got his wish, but I kept smiling all thru his agitation since i could make a pretty good guess why he needed to be discharged to get to his car.

That's alright if that is what your budget can handle. I have been to couple of houses where that obtains, even using asbestos sheets in place of PVC for other rooms. But i realize that the PVCs fall off with time (although i have seen poorly anchored POP ceiling collapse too after about 2 years), and bearing in mind that POP is getting cheaper since a lot of people now provide the service, you may still try to save some more movies to do POP in other rooms.

Plasma TV na terrible power hugger o. Recently changed LG 42 inch was rated at 600 watts.

Do you also place the fridge on solar comfortably as you do the deep freezer? Someone advised me that it is better to have freezer on solar than a fridge cos the former starts up at more frequent times than freezers do, the compressor thereby drains more stored power from high start up currents. He gave the same arguments for air conditioners placed on solar Inverters. Is this argument very valid in your opinion?

Opinions of other pros in the house are highly welcome.

Negative, should have stopped at struggle to start. My first inverter was a 1050va (about 840w) and yes it did struggle to start the freeze but it did start it and once started the freezer ran fine. The freezer is a 175L chest mode from LG.

Freezers should generally be given some time when turned off.. (like 5 minute) before turning them back on.. this would allow the compressor to reset (you will hear a click sound when this happens) doing this reduces the start up surge.

I eventually replaced the inverter with a 1.5va (1300w) inverter and the latter started with freezer with no hassle at all. But Inverters are from sukam
Noted. Is it with a 24 volt set up?
How many amps of battery and solar panels? Thanks.

Tinubu is forgeting Buhari past and staking it out selling Buhari to his overbearing south west.
But i don't think that is what he is doing. Presently, the general consensus in the South West is that Buhari can no longer be tolerated. I'm sure Tinubu has felt that pulse and made his decision in line with it, but he is only playing along with Buhari.

How then do you get the strength to push on when you already put yourself down?

There was so much rot and sleaze going on in that administration your man was not ready to address them. Nigerians in their millions begged and called on him to restore sanity into his government but he turned deaf ears. In retrospect, Jonathan placed Nigerians in this predicament. If he had been the very good president that Nigerians wanted him to be, no Buhari from Jupiter would have unseated him. The citizens can no longer tolerate the nonsense from Jonathan and he was eased out, simple. Sadly, there was no third or fourth credible and popular candidate to widen choices. Buhari that was to come on board deserved a chance like every Nigerian just like GEJ was given a chance 6 years and 4 years before then. Right now, Buhari has not proven to be really outstanding just like GEJ did and the general consensus is that he can no longer be tolerated.

From your leanings, and emotionally driven affiliations and comments, you are actually the one with the penchant to play the tribal and religious card.

With all your grammar and word skills you still don't make sense. This is about RACE! When Nnamdi Kanu was saying stuff like this we criticized him called him names. When the army descended on his people in the East , Nigerians from other tribes gloated, made memes of the Ipob everywhere. Now the fulani herdsmen are killing off the other side and you expect the Ipobians to protest against this.. This one go be operation LIQUIDATION DANCE...
Did you really get what everyone is saying? Kanu went about it all the wrong way. Ain't nothing wrong with agitation, but it has to be done reasonably and with moderation, not calling your potential supporters animals and rooting for their elimination. The first and only time I heard radio biafra was when I was in Onitsha for a charity health awareness organized by some young western elites for the underprivileged in some parts of the east. Out of boredom, I tuned the radio on my mobile phone and was shocked by what was being broadcasted. Listeners called in and perpetuated the same air of hatred and disgust with their contributions. Hausas, Yorubas, in fact all ethnicities in Nigeria save core easterners weren't spared the curses, abuses and vituperations. I had it recorded (about one hour of the broadcast) and immediately uploaded it to my virtual drive for future reference. Radio Kudirat was established by the Yoruba elites to fight the Abacha junta. Then it was a fight for the interest of Nigerians, not westerners, against a dictatorial regime and that was why it was a success. The radio even gained much traction amongst the Northerners. I'm sure if peaceful disintegration or at best, regionalism had been included in the broadcast agenda then, it would gain as much traction.

OPC was seen as a Yoruba diplomatic movement albeit with a militia tone to it. Afenifere was strictly diplomatic. Both aimed at pushing the interest of Yorubas in National integration and pushing for regional governance of the various federating units, eastern region included. When it became apparent that both movement are getting militaristic to the detriment of the interest of Yorubas having been highjacked by some undesirable elements, Yorubas in their entirety called for their conscription. No one shouted ethnic cleansing from the mountain tops. No one blamed other ethnicities for the loss of vision that led to their loss of relevance. When Gani Adams faction of OPC tried to play the same game of pipeline protection that the Niger Delta militants play with GEJ to enrich 'emselves, yorubas were the first to publicly distance themselves from such sham, entreating the FG instead to rightly empower the nation's maritime security forces to do the job. Of course now the two movements have regained some of their relevance amongst yorubas and may regain their lost glory if they reposition themselves for national interest and regional empowerment.

The point I'm trying to make here is that your opinion is too sentimental driven. You won't achieve much with that. Best you will do is make more enemies as many will see you as u serious just as it happened here with BankeSmall's opinion.

Oh Lord hear my people again. Pls what is bakare saying and what are you saying? What brought Kanu to this discussion bikonu? Pls may I ask you few questions:

Who are the main sponsorer of Buhari the demonic fulani man to power? Let me help you these are the clowns fuc k ing bastards who brought him to power :
1. Tinubu donated billions in naira to brought this demon on us

2. Rotimi Amaechi singly donated $350 million pls convert that to naira

Okorocha donated over $200 million pls convert to naira

3. Onu donated some hundreds of millions can't remember the figure

4. Ngige donated couple of millions and was mandated to stage his campaign rally same day Onitsha festival to humiliate the Obi for refusing to dump APGA for apc.

5. Timipere Slyvia donated N600 million to unseat gej and install fulani

The list is endless with proof and 85% of those that source Buhari to power are from SS and SE go and check the fact.

Now talking about Kanu bOk Nnwanne Kanu has no meaningful message than ego, hate, war mongering, emperorship, fraud, lies, IntimidsIntimidation etc I beg you stop putting Ojukwu in the same level with Kanu ok they are no match. Bro no one send Kanu message ok.

You fool yourself by saying you are a spectator in Nigeria then why commenting on Nigeria issue did we that still belief in Nigeria called you into our matter? Hell No, so pls keep off Nigeria mentions. You are concern about your small small shop in a land you so hated bro you are sick trust me you need mental help. Take it or bust I give no bleep. The East are the main source of their problem use your head to go by history and study recent trend you will understand what I'm saying. Go back to bed ok. Good night.

Stop blaming SW they have chosen their way and they are following it with wisdom why can't we?

my problem with folks like u is the hasty generalization u usually make. do u ever read bakare condemning Nnamdi KANU?


did you expect west to support a man that's rubbishing their region and calling for their killings (Yoruba bastard) according to him


so in your small sense, a Yoruba activist will call for Igbo killing, and all Igbo we still support him? this is a simple logic I expect u to code why KANU talk was ignored


he bring southerners far to eachother instead of close and was creating enmity among Nigerians instead of diplomatic disintegration


no sane west would listen to KANU that left his people to die while he ran away


you people support for bakare's group or not won't stop the fact that majority of Nigerians ain't happy with this herdsmen issues. you can continue folding your hand as if herdsmen doesn't kill in east before and lately
Finally a reasonable response. I couldn't agree more. Sentimentalism shuts out sanity in reasoning out issues. That Bakare was once the running mate of Buhari does not imply him to be taciturn when the latter is erring, most especially when such errors endanger Nigerians who he has sworn to protect.

I am so distraught when I see some people blame those that now condemn PMB simply because they supported him in the initial stages. Such attitude is so pedestrian.

The rule of life is simple: First we are humans before any ethnic, racial or religious affiliation. Our religion should indeed be "Humanity religion". Once you understand that truth, undue sentiment will be done with and it won't matter to you if your blood brother was the president as you will readily condemn him if he is shirking in his responsibilities to the citizens. This same Bakare, Soyinka et al damned ethnic and religious affiliations and stood by GEJ against the Yaradua cabal and ensured that he (GEJ) was rightly made the president. Would any reasonable individual devoid of undue sentiment still expect the same support when it becomes apparent that he has lost his ways and kept at such despite all entreaties? Hell no! So he was rightly removed for someone else to take his place. This new person has lately displayed serious level of ineptness and reasonable Nigerians are counting his days in office. But some funny elements filled with bile because their man was voted out will keep blaming Nigerians for changing their mind, even to the extent of promising to still vote for Buhari come 2019 in order to ensure, in their own words, that the suffering continues. I mean who thinks primordially like that?

It's sickening to say the least.
