It would be very interesting to know the actual efficiency of this
setup in practice. I'd say you'd be surprised.

A switche dmode generated sine is highly efficient. If it wasnt, the
invertor would cook itself.



Plenty of camping style 12v fluorescents available, and I can totally
confirm the battery lasts about 5 times as long as using normal 12v
bulbs, since I have both.

Sigh. But that's a custom made 12 volt fitting. Not a low efficiency mains
one run off an inverter. Big difference.
