A clamp on inverter is temporary and more powerful than a cigarette lighter
inverter but still considerably less powerful than a permanent installation
type. It has jumper cable clamps for attaching to the battery studs. The
following is just one example.

To my surprise, my marine surveyor actually advised against permanent
installation style inverters. He explained that a typical 2000w inverter can
draw so much current that a "proper" and safe install is challenging. He had
apparently seen quite a few fires as a result of bad inverters or poor
installations (inadequate conductor size, insufficient cooling, too small of a
battery bank). He advised that most appliances can be found in 12v variants
and are more efficient. If/when the occasional need (xmas lights) for 120v
presents itself a clamp-on is what he recommended.

Cigarette lighter inverter should be able to power a good number of LED
strings. A clamp on inverter would be an even better guarantee of sufficient
power.

I would love to hear ideas for lighting the boat for Venetian parades. LED?
Can I use Christmas lights that are on sale? No generator on board.
