DC to AC converter

[BigD]

I am looking for recommendations for converting power from my 12 volt marine battery to AC power. Two plugs would be great.

What amperage are you requiring at the 120 AC voltage output ??

I would like to run two 13watt fluorescent bulbs with two 28watt bow and stern lights.

You can buy a unit at walmart or target that will hook to your battery to achieve this, granted it wouldn't give you a clean install and would be more like a portable unit. They come with battery clamps and cigarette lighter attachment.

I use inverters. Just be careful and keep your powder dry. This A/C stuff can and will kill you.

maby try to get good 12Vdc lights and stay away from the conversion it can be verry dangerous. verry!!

DC is safer? I don't want to get someone hurt. I will have to look into that. I just bought a converter but if it is dangerous I won't use it.

I had 12 volt fluorescent lights in my motor home that gave off good light, also you may want to look into those 12v LCD string lights I see people installing in their boats.

What do you guys think of me getting a electric cord with ground fault interrupter in the cord for outdoor? That seems like that would make the inverter safe. Yes it will cost me another 100 dolllars but life is worth it.

The reason I ask is that most of the commercial fisherman use inverters for big lights underwater.
