Does anyone know if they make this......

I need to run some 12vdc fans for one night in our camper while we sleep in warmer weather with no electric. My first thought was to take a light fixture down and wire it in to the wires on the light BUT then I got to thinking (uh oh as my wife would say) Do they make such a thing as a bulb base that has wire pigtails coming out of it so you could wire a 12vdc device to the pigtails and plug it in to the light fixture by just removing the bulbs to the light and turning the switch on?? Any one have any thoughts on this?? Thanks!

    One night
    Why not used a battery operated fan
    Like the O2 Cool line of fans
    The fold, use D cells in the base, and have a D.C. plug on the side and can use 12v from a cig outlet
    Wal-Mart carries then during the summer, so do many shooting Good's stores, Amazon has them online
    As cheap as $15 with out the 120v . Adapter, which you don't need

    Yeah, they make a 12v light with a plug in it for a 12v fan. Just do a quick see arch for it. I believe I've seen them in a lot of pop ups.

    Hi,

    It would be better to install a cigarette lighter type of outlet.
