I'm working on a way to provide power to a wall tent. My current plan is to build a 12v power distribution box and attach it to a 12v source(Car Battery, Jump Pack, other 12v Battery). The box will have 2 USB ports, 3 Cigarette outlets, and 3 banana jack outputs.

The plan is to use the banana jack outputs to power lights for the wall tent but I'm still working out what to use for lights. I'm currently looking at offroad LED flood lights or a cheaper version of the goal zero light a life. I'm curious if anyone has experience with these lights or has done something similar?

Just in case someone wanted build the same box I've got a parts list below.

I got the project box and banana jack ports from work but these seems similar.

I built a power set up for our wall tent much like you’re doing. For lights I picked up 6 dual bulb RV lights and LED bulbs. Cost me about $15 CAD per fixture and works great.

There are a million options for 12v strip lighting also; I've installed those in my landcruiser on the inside of the back hatch to illuminate the tailgate and cargo area and also in my work truck inside the shell. Really like them!
