LEGO® Solar Panel
The Solar Panel provides sufficient power to operate the
LEGO Energy Meter and motors. It delivers: 5V, 4mA in
direct light from a 60W incandescent bulb positioned
25 cm from the solar panel (>2000 lux); and 5V, 20mA in
direct light from a 60W incandescent
bulb positioned 8 cm from the
panel (>10,000 lux). |
