ChadTower:
Tolerances, how much capacity it can handle as throughput when "on", how much voltage it considers a valid trigger to change state, physical size.  It does the same thing as other standard transistors but the variables are all about the materials that make it up and what type of performance you can expect out of it.

It's like wire gauges... all wire does the same thing but you can't use thin wire on a power supply and you can't use thick wire in a small box.

Updated my post with the front and back of that circuit board.

You do know peale that they sell 12v florescent lamps at hardware stores i've seen kits that lets you interconnect each light to a maxium of 8 daisy chained running of a 12v source so this could be the alternative if you don't wanna spend the time making led's work

After this message I don't want to hear about any more drop-in solutions.  No offense man, but half the fun in this is figuring out how to DIY.  Especially since I won't be working on an actual camper anytime soon, I can cobble together things and experiment.

AtomSmasher:
I don't know if it's been mentioned, but the latest issue of Make magazine has instructions on how to build a 20 watt solar panel.  Apparently it's the first article in a series and in the next issue they're going to show how to integrate it into your electrical system.
