I'm going to look more at those little 12v arrays they make to replace lamps in cars.
Those might be more tolerant to my solar chargers..
I'm not up to speed on supercaps, but I know that a 1 Farad capacitor can provide
(or store) 1 amp at 1 volt (1 watt) of power.
So, a 1 Farad flashlight can provide 100 ma @ 1v for 10 seconds.. Or 50ma for 20 sec.. etc.
It sure seems like rechargeable batteries are the best way to go..
