How long will a Pecron E1500LFP run LED Christmas tree lights (500 bulbs)?
About 24 hours — 23 h 45 min typically, from 22 h 21 min in the worst case to 25 h 9 min at best. That assumes LED Christmas tree lights (500 bulbs) pulling 35 W continuously, plus the station's 12 W AC mains socket overhead — 47 W in total out of 1,116 usable watt-hours.
About a sixth of the same tree in old incandescent bulbs, and cool enough to touch.
