Add Solar Powered Led Lights To A Harbor Freight 45 Watt Solar Panel Kit
Last fall I added a Harbor Freight 45 Watt solar panel kit to my outside storage building. I wanted lights in the building but it was not worth the cost to run power to the building just for lights. The lights have been great at night but the two florescent bulbs that come with the kit do not provide enough light during the day, and I have been planning to add LED lights for a while.
Here’s the write-up I did on the Harbor Freight 45 Watt solar panel kit last fall.

Select The Leds You Will Use
There are a lot of vendors out there, and many of them are misrepresenting their products. So, when it came to buying LEDs for this project I bought direct from a Chinese vendor I have bought from before and trust. I also wanted waterproof LEDs because these would be installed in an outside building.
These are available from Youmyelectric LTD in China and at the time this article was written, a roll cost $11.84 delivered! The roll is 5 meters long, the string is waterproof and the LEDs are SMD5050’s.
The LED string comes terminated with color coded wires on both ends – black for -12V and red for +12V. The waterproofing is a heavy clear silicone.

Add Extension Wires To The Led String
The first real step is to figure out where the end of your LED string will be and then to add extension wires to run power to your LED string.
As I mentioned in the last step I used a soldering iron. I also had some red and black wire laying around that worked great.
Because this is low voltage any wire able to carry the current to the LEDs will work, even speaker wire will work. Just make sure you can identify which wire is connected to the black wire and which wire is connected to the red wire. Also make sure all of your connections are solid.
