        My set up.

        Here is what I did....

        I ran the 12V solar panel that came with the LED light (yes, it is 12V solar cell, but the internal battery is 6V) to a small SLA battery and then to the light. I put a diode inline with the (+) so the batterey wouldn't feed power to the solar cell and drain the battery it when there wasn't sun. The constant 12V feed into the light makes it brighter.

        I put a camera on the same 4X4 and ran a 6V solar cell to a 6V battery in the box and ran that to a plug to the external power feed of the light.

        I put a red filter on the light. A buddy has the same light on the same lease and took the filter off and the hogs still came and didn't run off when the plain white came on.

        I put the batteries in a $12 conduit box I bought form Home Depot and ran the 3/8" flex conduit to everything. I sealed everything up with silcone and reinforce the attachment points the the solar cell, LED light and the camera with silicone. Hopelully it holds. I also used some of the little hold down for the flex conduit to keep it all inplace. The camera and the light should work for a while without having to do anything to them.

                        Think I hit low chest. Outside ribcage. Lotsa fat juice and little blood.

                            The DIY section rocks. I too made one of the cool lights but used coupons and sales to get mine at Harbor Freight for ~$25. Mounted it as shown and put it up on my new double barrel pig feeder. It may be hard to see, but this pen is square and I couldn't keep the hogs in the trap after the game slammed shut. So, I cut short lengths of hog panel and wired them in the corners. Now it is more of a stop sign shape.
