Pretty sure the 3rd picture doesn't work - I am no electrician , but the black wire on the right left hand side doesn't seem to do anything ?

We need a proper sparky!

I'm no electrician but it looks ok to me.

Pic 2 shows 4 12v batteries in parallel.

Pic 3 first creates 2 24v batteries by hooking two pairs together in series (black wires). It then connects those two in parallel in the same style as pic 3

Could be wrong.

There's a way of wiring multiple batteries to ensure a uniform load on them.
Bit anoraky, had people who did that sort of thing. But I could explain the principle to the even stupider from further up the greasy pile.

Off to Google the principle.

Won't work, her lips aren't metal

I once got a job where they asked if I could weld and said I‘d had a try when I was apprentice. They gave me the job, the number of welding rods I managed to get stuck to things you wouldn’t believe.

You have to include the longevity of the bulb in any such calculation.

You also need to consider that it takes over 100 hours use to pay for the cost of the bulb. Fine if it's going somewhere like a lounge where it on for hours at a time, but the light in my loft gets used for a few minutes every few months. It'd take about a hundred years to save enough to pay for the bulb.
