 For ~120w loads you can use [[https://amzn.to/4cMWwdW|a small inverter]] intended to be powered by the [[electrical:12v:ports#the_cigarette_outlet|cigarette lighter port]].  The ports are typically fused at 10A, hence the ~120w wattage limit (12v x 10A = 120w).((technically you could use any size inverter as long as you remembered not to draw >10A))
-Note:  Ciggy ports are already prone to failure and poor connections and having an inverter that hangs out out of the socket will make matters worse.  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 live in the  socket]]((don't buy this!)) consider using [[https://amzn.to/3UgnTWF|a soft wire extension]] that will allow you to relocate the inverter.

 In any case, find out what kind of fuse your ciggy port uses and have some on hand.  Mistakes are easy to make and easy to fix (if you have the spare fuse waiting).
