If anyone knows or can hazards a guess, How much time would this give me running a 125watt MV bulb from it??

It's a 500Wh unit so approximately 4 hours. It will be slightly less due to losses through the inverter. I ran a 500W load until dead and it shut down at circa 56 minutes. Load was a fan heater.

Hi i have a product which produces 180 watts how long can the jackery 500 power it on for?

As this unit has 518Wh capacity if you divide that by 180W you get 2.87 hours. If it is an AC180 Watts then you will have some losses through the inverter so it will be a little less (circa 5% ish).

Would i be able to connect this to existing solar chage controller which is running my boats 12v system.

Yes as long as the connection in the same

Will this run a 500w heater? or does it need to be under 500w meaning 499w or less?

I would say that the Jackery would be operating right on its limit. As with a heater then it would be in operation for some time. So for me l wouldn’t run it. I understand the Jackery is rated for 500watts and a 1000watts peak, but l personally would use a lower wattage heater, 250watts or similar.
