Opnspaces, I took a peak behind one of the wall lights and was glad to see that the wiring would be relatively easy to fix up a usb plug. And I was going to go without an inverter but I found a 400 watt cobra modified sine wave for 20$ refurbished with wires and had to get it. But I ordered a 12 volt plug because it will be nice to have and didn't break the bank for pure dc and convenience.
Awesome, I think the USB plugs are the way to go. Now that you decided to add one there are a few things I can think of to be aware of.
If you tap into an existing light fixture your install is already fused But I'll bet the manufacturer used 14g wire so you should probably do so as well.
Wherever you drill the hole for the outlet be aware that you need to have access to the back of the hole. If you can't get behind the outlet you can't tighten the big plastic nut that holds it all in the hole.
Don't drill too close to a corner because again that back plastic nut needs to be able to fit and screw down. If you get too close to a structural member or corner you might not be able to turn the nut. Yes I ran into just that problem with the first one I installed.
