Default Need advice on spot light/feeder illumination

I am interested in setting up a spotlight from my camper, to light up an area appx 125 yds away (a feeder). Currently, I can pull out my 400,000 candle power 12 volt spot light and it works fine, but i want to mount something more permanent and preferrably to run off my 110 outlet vs. a battery. I am finding few choices, so if you have any suggestions on a light that will do what i need, i would appreciate.

One possibility is to purchase the halogen off road spot lights which can be permanently mounted (usually on a bumper of a vehicle), but the only problem is, this gets back to 12 volts. A suggestion was made that i could use this setup and make connections to a battery charger, which will take 110 and convert it to 12 volt for purposes of running this type of light. I would prefer a 110 spot light made for this, but as you probably realized, 125 yds is a long distance to project light.

any ideas? any problems with the battery charger idea?

by the way, this is for family viewing from my camper, not hunting.
