I don't know if that's great idea. I'm not sure what the output of the solar panel would be with an incandecent light bulb.

I was thinking of a small solar panel. Something similar to what is on a trailer's brake-away battery. They put out 2 amps at full sun light. Which for the size of the panel seems like alot, not that I'm complaining. the size is roughly 5" x 9" ?? give or take
