We have seen that done before so there shouldn’t be a problem with code, but it is still a good idea to check with your local code authority to be sure.
Our two cents - there is for sure losses due to the inverter, but for a load as small as lighting it may not be worth the added effort to wire it for DC, particularly if you use LED lighting. Since you’re going to install an inverter anyiway, it really boils down to the amount of lights you think you’ll need, what that draw is, and how much cost and effort is required to run DC as well.
Please let us know what you finally decide, It’s a great question and a great idea. Best regards.
