Technology Associates Inc.(remembered)
The EternaLight assets of Technology Associates, Inc.
have been transfered to EternaLights, LLC. All orders
and services issues will be handled by them.
History:
In 1992,
Thomas Hoops and Derone Bryson founded Technology Associates.
In 1994, their partnership incorporated under the name
of Technology Associates, Inc. Between 1993 and 2000,
Technology Associates successfully operated a small
chain of computer stores in the Reno/Sparks area which sold
and serviced computers.
Technology Associates was also one of the founding investors
in Great Basin Internet Services (GBIS), Northern Nevada's Largest
Independent internet service provider. In 1998, TA divested itself
of GBIS. In 2000, TA divested itself of it's retail stores
to pursue manufacturing of the EternaLight flashlight
and other related and unrelated products developed by Thomas Hoops
and Derone Bryson. In 2007,
the organization formerly known as Technology
Associates, Inc., founded by Thomas Hoops and
Derone Bryson in 1992 ceased to exist.
This site is still a
functioning sales platform for the EternaLight products
manufactured and sold by EternaLights, LLC. However,
the remainder of the site remains as it was in it's finality before
the closing of Technology Associates, Inc.
Today Mr. Bryson is privately employed as a Software Engineer. Mr. Hoops
is privately employed in a manufacturing company as
it's CTO. After working together since 1990, through their various
projects and partnerships, Mr. Hoops and Mr. Bryson are still best friends
and continue to explore new opportunities together.

Re: Use for shed light?

| Our most energy efficient product (light output vs. power in) is the VersaLux ULM. It can operate on a wide range of voltages too. And, one ULM is roughly equivalent to two eternalights. Thanks.
Places such as Harbor Freight sell PV panels. What is the minimum set up I would need to use a ULM for lighting my shed. I assume I would need a PV panel, cabling, 12 deep cycle battery. I assume I would need to be careful to not over charge the battery. I also wonder if the ULM can be hooked to a 12V battery at the same time as the PV panel.
Thanks. |

Depending on temperature extremes just a deep cycle battery recharged occasionaly would work. Just haul it home and hook up to an AC charger. I assume it will be turned off when not in use?
If you really need to have it self-contained you would need a charge controller. Though depending on use one of those "keep-fresh" solar powered battery maintainers would work.
