Idears
- Make all the tl lamps switchable per tl light (12 times)
- Use Kaku per lamp 11 to 13 euro ex shipping
- Replace the lock in the benches with a button, this way the sockets can be turned off by pushing the emergency buttons. This will save about 15 watts of constant power usage because the relay inside the benches will turn off.
- New server that doesn't use shitloads of power.
- Partially power the new server from the solar panels (complicated and costs a bit of money).
- Replace the routerboard with a router that has an internal switch, and turn off the two main switches when bitlair is closed, this will save about 90 watts of constant power usage.
- Run the weatherstation on the server instead of on a separate machine, this will save about 15 watts of idle power usage.
