go to home depot and get two 1000 watt work lights with the light tree (120 bucks, comes in a kit)
get the cigarette lighter adapter to plug in, run the car, and however far the rail is away, run a long extention cord...plug it in and hit the rail, then cut it so u dont get busted (two 1000 watt lights lite shit up crazy)
also...REV YOUR ENGINE if u do what i said...if u suck enough juice from your car to power these lights, u can kill the battery even if its on..if u rev it a little, you get the alternator going and it give the battery more charge...just would suck to kill the battery
^ yeah, but their crazy expensive...an on board camera studio light with 50 minute battery pack ( a big enough light to be effective) is damn near 250 bucks on average...the home depot solution is at least 100 dollars cheaper and its brighter
the tree and two lights for me was 29.95 500 watts each with replacement bulbs and extra worklight just set it all up practice hit it, hit it again turn on lights (steal that juice) and film it.
i dont know where your finding these inexpensive high wattage lighter adapters h30.. 600W is the best i could find, for $90. certainly not enough light, and way to pricy.
i did hear you can strip the wires to your lights, and rig it to your car battery with some roach clips. i'm gonna look into that.
and i dunno about the direct to battery idea...prolly work, but i could see mysely lying back down on the ground wondering why i have no hair left on my arms
i was talking about the lighter adapter, i dont knwo where you can find one that supports 2000 watts. and by the way, theres wayyyyy cheaper lights. sears had the dual 500W on a tower for $50.
how much is a generator, would it be worth it? cause i'd really rather have somthing i couold take anywhere then somthing that i would heve to have near a car
generators are expensive, like 1500 bucks (I'm pretty sure), and heavy as fuck. If you've got a car to tow it around in, just point the headlights at the rail, problem solved
generator, run it inside a van so its not as loud. you can find deals on them during the summer because most of the time power dies during wet snow storms
