The permanent connection to grid will be buried. A hook up was built into house with 20-amp breaker in anticipation of connecting barn later. Barn just built.
The light, whether it is LED, flourescent or incandescent must produce the proper spectrum and intensity to work. I am very partial to LED's but have not found a local supplier of UV bulbs.
I use a solar charged fence charger now that is not well suited for running a right. A bigger unit would be needed to run ventilation fans and charge battery enough to keep light on at least half the night. It will be pricey I am sure.
