Hi Matt...

I have never used one but I'd like to.
They are on eBay all the time from $22. There's one eBay seller
(sheana69) that says he sells them by the case (40 to a case). Should
we get a pool together and split a full case? They should come to
about $15 each or less. And yes, these are the 12/24v systems.
Maybe those of us who are going to Big Bear in CA could split a case
and distribute them at the show.
Thanks!
