Those are terrible (they run very hot and have poor spectrum) -- get something like this: https://smile.amazon.com/GLW-Waterproof-Daylight-Security-Equivalent/dp/B008XZAPV8/ref=sr_1_5?ie=UTF8&qid=1549495351&sr=8-5
I have just put together a system for a remote barn on my property. It may be overkill for what you are trying to accomplish, but thought it might help.
This is connected to a 12v deep cycle marine battery that you an find at NAPA.
Depending on frequency of use, you may be able to get away with a lower wattage solar panel, or, if it is rarely used, scrap the solar components all together and just lug the battery back to your house once a month a stick it on a trickle charger.
Okay, I've got some numbers for you.
At 12.8V, here is the amperage:
approx 5 mA (= 0.064 Watts) - standby current, i.e. with LEDs off, this is what the unit uses to listen for the infrared remote control
approx 2.81A (=36 Watts) - full white brightness; all LEDs on
approx 1.40A (= 18 Watts) - full red only
approx. 1.35A (=17 Watts) - full blue only
approx. 1.30A (=16.6 Watts) - full green only
approx 0.04A (= 0.5 Watts) - red on lowest setting (at night, this is still bright enough to see your way around in the dark)
So if you have a standard 100 amp-hour deep cycle RV battery, you could run for 18 hours at full (very bright!) white to drain your battery to 50%. You almost certainly won't want it this bright, or you'll need sunglasses! 20 Watts might be a reasonable brightness setting.
Another option (that I've purchased) is a 10 Watt flood light:

But it doesn't have configurable colour or brightness; it's either off or on. The LED rope lights are much more adjustable. I'm using two of the LED ropes (one along each long edge of the cabin), a 10W flood light at one end, a 20W flood light (no longer available??) at the other end, and another 10W flood light for an outside light.
This hooked up to an old vexilar battery https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008XZAPV8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_xVKbAb2PC4SSF
