Need advice converting a Clamp Light

Hi guys, I hope I have posted my question in the right location.

Basically, I have searched online and could not find any help so I figured I ask you guys before I tried anything and fry my electronics.

I have (2) of these Clamp lights which I purchased very cheaply at Home Depot.

I was wondering if I was able to use one as a under the hood work light? Unfortunately, it has a regular wall outlet plug and I wanted to know if I was able to splice the cable and either add battery claps cables or a cigarette plug.

 

You need a power inverter

That was my first though to use an inverter, but then I seen this lamp.

I figured I could just convert the one I currently have since I have all the wiring and ready to splice. Now am confuse?

 

Just put a led strip under the hood, brighter and cooler
Sounds like all that could get hot in there

 

I wanna see this thing blazing tonight.

Lol all Houston guys in here giving him advice

 

Well I guess no way around the inverter, I do have a small 200 amp one that I purchased long time ago that sits in your cup holder and connects to your cigarette lighter.

I will add one of these to use it under the hood: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BRAND-NEW-R...le_Car_Appliances&hash=item3a77a3be08&vxp=mtr


Thanks everyone for the feedback and fair warning.

 

Or even better, here is an idea

Could I add a cigarette female plug to my auxiliary fuse box under my hood?

 

Stick with 12V accessories to make life easy. There are tons of led work lights available, both battery and direct 12v powered.
