mv light question

[KBliss0568]

Has anyone here tried running a mercury vapor (175 watt) off of
a power inverter connected to a car battery?  The battery will
be connected to a running vehicle, so I'm guessing that it won't
go dead, but that's just my uneducated guess.  

The inverter I was looking at purchasing is a 600 watt (continuous),
1200 watt (peak) inverter by a company named Statpower.

Does anyone know if this will work?  Sounds like it should, right?
