How Long Will It Run

How long will a Dabbsson DBS2300 run LED Christmas tree lights (500 bulbs)?

A little over a day — 35 h 17 min typically, from 33 h 12 min in the worst case to 37 h 21 min at best. That assumes LED Christmas tree lights (500 bulbs) pulling 35 W continuously, plus the station's 13 W AC mains socket overhead — 48 W in total out of 1,693 usable watt-hours.

About a sixth of the same tree in old incandescent bulbs, and cool enough to touch.
