Hi, I am wanting to know if this machine will be able to light up 3 or 4 sets of 100 Led Christmas lights for approx 10 hours?

My guess would be YES, ABSOLUTELY. I run a 28" LED TV for 8 hours on a single charge. I'm not a scientist, but you can calculate how many watts of power are used: go here to this website -- https://www.batteryweb.com/pdf/inverter_battery_sizing_faq.pdf

This has a fair chance of running those lights, but keep in mind this is a battery with a limited supply of power. The battery is rated as "26 amp-hour" hinting it'll give you 1 amp at 12V for 26 hours, or 2 amps for 13 hours, etc, so for it to last 10 hours means you can't use over ~2.5 amps. When running things off the inverter, the overall power used is about the same but the 12V gets changed into 120V and the amps get changed from 2.5 amps to 0.25. I just tried a string of 26 LEDs (with the 1-2 inch cone on each) that shows 0.04 amp draw, so I could only put 5-6 of those together if expecting 10 hours. You may need to check yours to be sure of what yours needs since they may be different (I used the "kill-a-watt" meter to measure mine that you may want to consider getting to see exactly what yours use).

It worked on my Christmas tree led lights. A similar product is sold a Lowe's.

Assuming you have a DMX controller to tell this unit what to do, yes, you can plug Christmas lights into the unit so long as the Christmas lights are incandescent (not LED) style. If you will be configuring the unit to just turn on and off lights, LEDs will be OK, but if you are trying to dim LED's you may get unexpected results unless the LED lights are designed to be dimmed. Again, just be aware that you need a DMX controller for this unit to be practical. Hope this helps.

I had it over-loaded with christmas lights for a float. At least 900 watts, likely more and all of it continuous load, not surge. We pulled that float all around town and probably got 3.5 hours out of it (maybe more) before I had to refill. If you ran it with a 700 or 800 watt load and didn't get at least 4 or 5 hours, I'd be suprised. Having said that, we did this 9 and a half months ago so the details may be a little fuzzy... But I honestly was very suprised how well this little genny ran. I actually expected it to fail due to how long we were running it with that heavy of a load. I wouldn't try that heavy a load for that long if I was using this as a home power source. Remember you are getting this guy for under a hundo...

I would imagine you could put an extension cord in one of the day time slots to give you more plug ins. The lights don't draw that much electricity that it should be a problem. But just in case I would keep an eye on the temp. of the extension cord. Hope this helps.

It all depends on what you plug in- if it's a minimal electric load, like a few lamps or something it will probably work. I tried to use one to control all my Christmas lights- and it fried for good. Good luck

I really don't think one would light much. We use it to light a aluminum Christmas tree works well, but not great. would work well as a disco light color changer in a multi-light set-up, I believe.

led lights draw less voltage I use led Christmas lights over 100ft and they work fine .did you try to ask the seller .the most I ever used is 3 in line . sorry I cant help you more .

Hi there,It can be set up to light up all night. And if you can make sure it got at least 4 hours direct sunlight then it should be able to last at least 40 hours.Thanks,EESGI

hi friend, thanks for your inquiry. The working time via batteries depends on the battery version. Different battery has different capacity. It' hard to say. The light is 30W which is not high power. Pls don't worry.We recommend to get 2 lights which is more versatile. You also could get one to try and another.Hope the information is helpful for you. Your any question is welcome.

I would also say no. While not free, the cost to operate LED lights versus Incandescent lights is about 75% cheaper. I have changed all of my indoor lights and most of my 33,000 outdoor Christmas lights and I noticed a huge difference in the cost

Thank You for replying. Now I can be more confident on buying this next time. Although, I have one last question. Does this work for all LED christmas lights? Except those big bulb ones and probably the round dome type.

Sorry, but the light output on this "one light" is not strong enough....it would take 3 or more lights and by the time you invest in that much time and money, you could invest in an "electric" spot light....

It depends on your settings. I'm usually using mine at full power, so it's going to be more like 2-3 for me. If you use dimmer settings and you aren't watching a video or something that takes up more battery it's going to last longer.

I don't know for sure as I have never run it until it quit. My best guess is that it will light up for 4+ hours.

I haven't tested it (Thankfully) but I think I read in the packaging that it would last up to 48 hours. They are really fine LED lights so I could imagine it would last several hours for sure.

Yes as long as the load is not too much. so a string of xmas lights, yes. a table saw, probably not. a really long string of xmas lights?????
