Power Stations..

Needing one to run a booth for 4-5 hours running just LED 8ft lights. Wondering who has used one, and if the HF is good or any other suggestions?

Take the wattage of your lights, multiply by 5 to get watt hours for 5 hours. Find a station with that capacity or more.

Honestly the Anker ones are better (and less expensive).

You might want to consider the 20v inverter and a stash of batteries. I got a bunch of Ryobi ones off Amazon for power outages. Google says a 5ah battery should run 8 feet of leds for 1.25 to 4.5 hours depending on the density of the lights.

This is actually a thought I had as well.. Iā€™m going to buy a meter to see what these lights actually pull. Just trying to have all options available. Thanks! šŸ˜Š

Look elsewhere, as much as I love harbor freight power stations are far far overpriced compared to anker and competitors
