How long will an EcoFlow RIVER Pro run LED camping lights?
About 1.9 days — 44 h 43 min typically, from 42 h 46 min in the worst case to 46 h 10 min at best. That assumes LED camping lights pulling 10 W continuously, plus the station's 2 W 12 V DC socket overhead — 12 W in total out of 537 usable watt-hours.
This appliance runs from the station's 12 V DC socket, which skips the inverter — that is worth roughly 8% more running time than the same load through a mains socket.
The numbers
| Setup | Average draw | Cautious | Typical | Best case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 × LED camping lights, UK 230 V | 12 W | 42 h 46 min | 44 h 43 min | 46 h 10 min |
| 2 × LED camping lights, UK 230 V | 22 W | 23 h 20 min | 24 h 23 min | 25 h 11 min |
| 1 × LED camping lights, US 120 V | 12 W | 42 h 46 min | 44 h 43 min | 46 h 10 min |
- 5.6 nights of eight hours, or 1.86 days of continuous running.
- Usable energy: 537 Wh of the 720 Wh on the box, after chemistry, inverter losses and the reserve.
- To keep it going for a full 24 hours you would need about 610 Wh of rated capacity — which this station has.
- Start-up: the LED camping lights asks for 10 W at switch-on against this station's 1,200 W peak — comfortable.

If this is for a power cut
For light alone, you do not need a power station at all.
Without a power station: a 20,000 mAh power bank runs a USB LED lantern for about 18 h 30 min. See the power bank numbers.
Plug-in power failure lights. They live in a socket as a night light, charge themselves, and switch on the moment the mains goes off, so you are never hunting for a torch in the dark.
Look for: A built-in battery you can pull out and carry as a torch, and a UK three-pin plug if you are in the UK.
Battery motion-sensor lights. Stick-on lights on the stairs and landing come on when someone walks past, so nobody climbs stairs in the dark, which is when older people fall.
Look for: Rechargeable or AA batteries, and a warm white setting that is not too bright at night.
