 For ~120w loads you can use [[https://amzn.to/43RbueW|a small inverter intended for the cigarette lighter port]].  They are typically fused at 10A, hence the wattage limit (12v x 10A = 120w).   For ~120w loads you can use [[https://amzn.to/43RbueW|a small inverter intended for the cigarette lighter port]].  They are typically fused at 10A, hence the wattage limit (12v x 10A = 120w).  
  
-Note:  Ciggy ports are already delicate so having an inverter that sticks out of the socket will cause poor connections and often failure of the inverter or socket.  To avoid stressing the socket you can use an inverter with a built in power cord (as pictured above).  If you already own [[Ciggy ports are already delicate so having an inverter that sticks out of the socket will cause poor connections and often failure of the inverter or socket. |one designed to hang out of the socket]]((don't get that kindif you have a choice)) consider using [[https://amzn.to/3UgnTWF|a soft wire extension]] so you can plug it in but have the inverter resting on a surface +Note:  Ciggy ports are already delicate so having an inverter that sticks out of the socket will cause poor connections and often failure of the inverter or socket.  To avoid stressing the socket you can use an inverter with a built in power cord (as pictured above).  If you already own [[https://amzn.to/4aLoUuT|one designed to hang out of the socket]] consider using [[https://amzn.to/3UgnTWF|a soft wire extension]] that will allow you to relocate the inverter.
