130W 25 million cp CAMO spotLight

[DavyCrockett]

I bought a Camo 25 million cp, 130W spotlight, the company sold it cheap because it had no battery. . . one can only use it by plugging it into your car or truck's cig. lighter. It is awesome in that way.
Is there anything I could do or add something so I could plug it into my house outlet? What would happen if I spliced or cut off the lighter input and put on/spliced on the AC charge adaptor, then plugged it in my house outlet?

You'd need a (12-15)V DC power supply that could supply about 10 amps.

more than 10 to be safe.
however transformer like that will cost a lot more than the light.

Thanks, so what about this? Buy a car battery, cut the cig. lighter insert, and split the two wires and connect one to positive and other to negative on the car battery? It's work, right?

yes..

Have you ever priced car batteries? They run around $100.

You should be able to find a decent supply on eBay, a simple 12VAC transformer would work.

There are a lot of 12VDC power supplies out there that could power that light. It would be cheaper than buying a car battery. I would look for one that was around 15 amps.

Some laptop- and printer-adapters have decent output.
I know I have a HP 20V 8Amps.
Oversizing on amps is useful, especially with incans to handle the start-up peak.
