Hey Ghurd.
I made one very similar 12 months ago.
5w panel, 7 ah battery and a 12v 11w cfl - still works today.
cost approx 100 u.k pounds ($200).

The only problem is that the anglepoise lamp is sprung for the lighter incandescent bulbs, the heavier cfl's make the lamp head drop down - I'm not sure what will happen when incandescants are phased out - a lot of drooping anglepoise lamps I suppose...



Ben.
