Hello,
First I would like to apologise if this is a very basic question, I know next to nothing about electronics and power supply and such.
I'm trying to build a moth trap and would eventually like to use it in some remote areas and so I won't have access to the mains, and generators are rather expensive so I bought a battery.
I currently have the battery and the bulb and want to know if I need an inverter to use it, and what kind.
The battery is an Eco-Worthy 12v 20ah LiFePO4 off ManoMano, and the bulb is a 240v 20w Sylvania MLX E27 blacklight. The inverter I found was a Streetwize 12v - 240v 150w inverter.
I found one inverter and in the process of looking up what connection it came with, I found it was not suitable for fluorescent bulbs. However, I've found information that I may instead need a 240v - 12v inverter, which seems counterintuitive as the lamp runs off 240v?
So all in all, I am confused.
Thank you for reading, and I hope you can help.
