Did you know that some (relatively cheap 14.4V/3Ah) rechargeable batteries for power tools can power that professional 12V LED spot for 10 to 15 minutes at full power?
The Maintenance dept. in our company has dozens of them so this will save my next project without asking that 1500 EUR for a "Pro solution" (for 5 LED spots).
Even if you need to buy new batteries you pay +/- 75 EUR each.
Of course you need to make a backplate yourself.
The one in the picture will be painted black so nobody will notice the D.I.Y..
Also the external connection will become an internal one. So the XLR connector can still be used for adapters.
