Allie wants to over-engineer the consulate's DC power infrastructure. This may or may not be that.

Camping, radio and hacking stuff mostly runs off 12V, at fairly high current. This is all well and good for short runs, but voltage drop over longer runs can be problematic. This is why a lot of low voltage DC distribution happens at 48V, and why we should to that too.

The RuiDeng/RDTech programmable buck/buck-boost converters are quite interesting. They're programmable and have nice little displays on them and some of them speak modbus!

Rob's lighting stuff has standardised on 2.1mm barrel plugs at some voltage. This is good and should continue to be supported.
