Any boaters left here? Holiday light question.
good call, Tom. I wasn't sure how many lights Chuck was going to pull,
but I did think that the genset would be a bit of overkill.

I'm going to be rigging for a couple of lighted boat parades and I'm
trying to figure whether to run my Honda 1100 watt genset or run off of
the inverter. Anybody know, offhand, how many amps a string of the itsy
bitsy holiday lights might draw? If I can get a couple of hours of
light off the inverter bank
I won't screw around with the gasoline powered genset.
Inverters are rated in watts.
Less than two watts for 100 mini lights.
I ran two six foot Christmas trees, about 5 100 light mini string and
four light strings off a 350 watt inverter at last years Festival of
Lights in Putnam and it didn't even breathe hard.
Have a freakin' ball with the lights. :)
