Would it be silly to tap off the light? wiring not heavy enough?

Yes, yes. Inverter wiring the 12v side almost always requires larger wires directly connected to the battery.

Smaller inverters are not usually pure sine wave, and the msw ones can heat up chargers and put interference in your tv and sound. That's not a guarantee, it's a distinct possibility.

thanks for the reply...so this one is probably not the way to go?

also, 10 gauge wire direct to battery?

would the on/off switch on the inverter in the link be enough to kill parasitic load? or do i need something else wired in?


Kind of a new subject for me, I'm trying to research but sorry for any ignorant questions
