55 of 56 units can run it. The smallest is the EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus (286 Wh, about 24.3 h). 55 hold 5 hours of LED lights with the calculator's 20% headroom.

A 60-watt-equivalent LED bulb draws 10 W (GE's figure); a four-light USB camp set draws 6.3 W at most (Goal Zero's). Lights are the smallest load you will plan for: the battery size hardly matters, the outlets do.

Draws from LED light bulb, A19 60 W equivalent: maker figure, checked 6 Sep 2026; Camp LED light set (4 chainable lights): maker figure, checked 6 Sep 2026. Hours are our arithmetic, not a measurement.

What changes these hours

USB lights run from the USB ports without the inverter, which lasts longer than these AC figures. The AC inverter has its own idle draw while it is switched on, so for a 10 W load the USB and 12 V ports go further.

The 0.85 allowance covers the inverter's conversion losses on average; at very small loads its own idle draw takes a larger share, and at very large ones the battery delivers a little less. Cold batteries hold less, and an older battery holds less than its rating. To plan a whole day with other devices and 20% headroom, use the calculator with 5 hours of LED lights already added.

Also: a camping weekend, an outage, and every device.

Questions buyers ask

How many watts does LED lights use?

LED light bulb, A19 60 W equivalent: 10 W; Camp LED light set (4 chainable lights): 6 W. Your own model's label or manual has its figure; put it into the calculator's custom row to size for exactly yours.

What size power station do I need for 5 hours of LED lights?

71 Wh of rated capacity by the calculator's arithmetic (device watts × hours ÷ 0.85, plus 20% headroom), with at least 10 W of surge. 55 tracked units clear it.
