We used it the same way I used a fixture with a naked stoplight bulb
on the boat, for intensegalley or task lightig for a few minutes at a
time.  For overall illumination we used a clip-on gooseneck lamp with
a narrow-beam PAR-tpe seven-watt CFL floodlight running off a fanless
100-watt inverter, took less than an amp from the battery
IIRC.  Clipped to the H-brace it lit the whole cabin, or you could
have it closer by for reading or to darken part of the cabin.
