   12v car/deep cycle type of battery system.   
      
   I want to go at least 24v to make it more efficient. But the downside to   
   this is, the light system it has is only for 12v.   
      
   What can I use to step down the voltage for the lights?

   It sounds like to different circuits, one 12v circuit for lights only,   
   and a second 120vac circuit that runs off of the inverter.   
   Now you have a generator that--I assume-- you plug into the 120ac   
   circuit. What happens with the inverter, is it disconnected?
