We have a 12 by 12 rabbit shed in the back yard. Every night she goes out to feed and water them in the dark with a flashlight. I want to hook up a car battery up to a compact flourescent bulb -- or two. Would I need an inverter or buy a certain kind of bulb? Am I okay just wiring them up to a switch and light socket?

There are plenty of 12V fluorescent and halogen light units sold for garage and boating use. Just wire one of these to your battery.

Alternatively you can get a camping inverter and use household fluorescent fittings, as these will give a somewhat better light.
