Saw some info in other posts but figured it was worthy of its own.

Its my first time at burning man and I'm looking for a way to light up our camp (tent and shade structure).
I have my doubts about the solar powered lights and was considering a battery system. Nothing too fancy, a couple strings of X-mas lights at least. It would be even better if they turned on automatically at night. I've gleamed that I'll need a battery, inverter, switch (to turn on at night), and lights.

I already have this inverter: www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp
that I picked up for a road trip awhile back. Would I be able to use that as my inverter?

Any ideas, experiences, links, etc are greatly appreciated!
