From one who has both used, worked in, and taught Electronics and Electricity for 5 decades, I'd say that Worth has a good working knowledge. But Electricity is not easy to explain at any level. I DO believe that we are all trying to advise Ron that Automobile lights are not the best, nor the safest way to go. I hope we have communicated that to him.

Ron, even if you get the auto lights and manage to find enough of a power supply to run them, the cost of running those high amperage lights might be more than you'd have to pay for some CFL fixtures and lamps. You might even find a demolition site where there are CFL fixtures that range from "free" if you remove them to a couple bucks each.

I think the concensus here is that the 12 volt choice is not the safest route to take.
