How Long Will It Run

How long will an EcoFlow DELTA Pro Ultra run LED Christmas tree lights (500 bulbs)?

About 3.1 days — 3 days 2 h typically, from 2 days 22 h in the worst case to 3 days 7 h at best. That assumes LED Christmas tree lights (500 bulbs) pulling 35 W continuously, plus the station's 25 W AC mains socket overhead — 60 W in total out of 4,465 usable watt-hours.

Note how much of that draw is the station rather than the appliance: 42% of the energy goes on keeping the inverter awake. On a load this small, the idle draw matters more than the capacity does.
