Battery-operated Outlet. Does it exist???

**DepressedCashew** · 02-04-2010, 09:44 AM

Does anyone know if there's such a thing as a Battery-Operated Outlet that you can plug Fluorescent Lightbulbs into?

I wanted to try to grow some plants inside this deserted Telephone Box outside, near my house. I can't do it unless I grow Fluorescently though. And there's no outlets to plug anything into anywhere near it. So, I was wondering if there's a portable, battery-operated outlet of some sort that I could buy from Walmart or some shit.

Anyone know?

Thanks for taking the time to read this =)

use DC power aka batteries with a converter like this

then you will need to recharge the battery when needed with something like this
or this

Actually I was looking at going entirely free/renewable energy source for my home but it it costly
for 25grand I can use wind power to power my entire house and grow room
then I can go out and pull the meeter off of my house and never pay a power bill again

perhaps this may be better here or here

My old roommate grew with car battery's and a inverted when one died he would just recharge it. He just plunged the recharger into the country club lol

my two cents, bloody stupid idea

yeah i'm never one to call an idea stupid but this is a dumb idea on so many levels
-starting with the "deserted Telephone Box outside, near my house. " if this was to be done in you house then it would just be halfway stupid

note: any assistance this picture may give is unintentional as I agree with the others, this is a really really bad idea. It would only be a really bad idea if you did it in your house, the extra 'really' for the phone box. (thanks T5

Thank-you everyone from responding, it's actually been alot of help =)

And I know that it's not exactly the best idea in the world, but when you live in the city, parents are a problem, and growing outdoors is extremely risky (for me anyways), I don't really have too many alternatives.

Also, it's not a telephone box that has/had a telephone connected to it, it's a huge, 4.5 ft piece of metal with no use and nothing inside. Not to mention, no one will ever open it for any apparent reason, really.

cus bums never look for shelter in the rain. are you saying that you've monitered it and noone has even looked inside for 3-4 month periods at a time.

and here was me thinking abandonded phone box in the middle of the countryside, in a city...........

not to mention ten thousand other reasons.

if you want to grow that badly, then just take your wages, and move out.

Funny little fantasy, but not practical.

You can't actually fit inside of it. And yes, I have monitored it. It's in a corner of my acre backyard - no one goes near it.
Honestly, I don't expect you to understand unless I were to take an actual video of it and show you how exactly I'd do it.

Wasn't really looking for a lecture, but thanks.
