A power inverter converts direct current (DC) electricity to alternating current (AC). To provide enough power to run a 1500 watt light, an inverter of at least 1500 watts is needed, and 1800 watts is recommended. Battery.com states, "we recommend...a larger model than you think you'll need (at least 10 percent to 20 percent more than your largest load.)"
