Is the spectra emitted by an LED lamp usable by a PV cell? Thanks.
Will a warm white LED lamp charge my EcoDrive?

Stick it under the lamp, and see. I could certainly charge up my Casio watch under a lamp, but that doesn't need much of a charge.
Keep in mind that if you are using a lamp to charge something via a solar panel, you might as well stick the thing into the wall. It can't be very efficient overall, so you will be paying for the electricity. ON the other hand, if you use the solar panel to charge from the sun, you actually are getting something for nothing (except for the cost of the solar charger).

I got charge using my led flashlight, warm white.
