How long will a UGREEN PowerRoam 600 run incandescent Christmas tree lights (500 bulbs)?
About 2.3 hours — 2 h 19 min typically, from 2 h 11 min in the worst case to 2 h 28 min at best. That assumes incandescent Christmas tree lights (500 bulbs) pulling 204 W continuously, plus the station's 9 W AC mains socket overhead — 213 W in total out of 494 usable watt-hours.
The old bulbs draw about six times what LEDs do for the same tree, and run hot.
The numbers
| Setup | Average draw | Cautious | Typical | Best case |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 × incandescent Christmas tree lights (500 bulbs), UK 230 V | 213 W | 2 h 11 min | 2 h 19 min | 2 h 28 min |

- Usable energy: 494 Wh of the 680 Wh on the box, after chemistry, inverter losses and the reserve.
- To keep it going for a full 24 hours you would need about 7,034 Wh of rated capacity — 10.3× this station.
- Start-up: the incandescent Christmas tree lights (500 bulbs) asks for 204 W at switch-on against this station's 1,200 W peak — comfortable.
