I need to light a few strands of lights for about 6 hours at a convention w/no power source, Is this a portable power source?

it converts DC voltage like from a 12v car battery into 120 VAC for use with items that run on household voltage. Mine did not last very long though!

Correct. This is an emergency power failure light. Its main purpose is to provide you some light for a few hours, so that you can get to safety or find some other light sources. It is not powerful enough to light up a room or to last overnight. For that you'll need an LED lantern that runs on D cells.

Mine did not come with anything to power it. I was working on some speakers in the vehicle I was installing them in though, so I just used some extra 14-16 gauge speaker wire and spliced the positive into my radio power wire while grounding the negative. The lights don't require many amps, so a thick wire is not necessary. If you intend to run it off of AC power supply, you will need a transformer to change the alternating current(AC) to direct current(DC). Kind of like the charging cords do for rechargeable devices.

As long as the light runs of a 6v battery, you should have no problem keeping a charge on the battery

this unit takes 6 AAA batteries. battery life is, obviously dependent on usage. my father uses it for about a half hour to 45 minutes, once per week and it has lasted a couple of months, but light output has dimmed. it is ok as a supplemental light but I wouldn't use it as a primary source

the light runs on a VERY, VERY small battery. If you're thinking of using 110 power from a house light switch.... you'll probably blow the light to smitherines!! and get shocked and maybe start a fire. If, however, you attached the small battery to the light, then taped it somewhere near the rocker switch, it would light for a few days then burn out. I put the light plus battery taped into balloons and suspended them from the ceiling for Halloween, covered with gauze they looked like glowing ghosts.

Having the lights on does take a lil from the battery without sacrificing allot of power. Note these are led lights and do not consume not as m much power as you think. But having them off will give you about 30 minutes of extra use after a full charge

yes on overnight charge by any standard electrical outlet in your house will be fine ,,,yes i think it will hold a charge to power a small light overnight i have run a 100 w bulb for a few hours with mine although i didnt time it and it still had power left over i am thinking like a small bulb like a nightlight it would run it overnight ...i do hope this answers your question to your satisfaction. ?

You must use a generator to have a continuous power for continuous lighting

Yes the lights can be battery powered. I am not sure of the time that they will run. I used 8 AA batteries run in series to create the 12V necessary to power the lights as a test. I had the lights running for at least 5 minutes on alternating flash with the 12V battery pack.

unless you have one of those USB Back up battery for when you don't have electricity. You'd still need to plug it into a power source. Doesn't have a stand alone battery.

Be aware that this is not a generator it's a power source. This power source will run out of power if you don't recharge it.

Yes. A Primary lithium (non-rechargeable) cell or a secondary (rechargeable) lithium-ion cell (16340 or RCR123) may be used to power the light.

Should work fine!, its a 12 amp hour battery, so if the light is 1 amp (i doubt it for a LED) then theoretically you would have 12 hr.

The Gazebo lights are not battery operated. You will need a 120-volt ac source to power them (e.g., like plugging in a household lamp).

I am an electrical contractor by trade. The lights are very low amp draw and should not be a problem being powered by a cigarette lighter adapter. Obviously, they are typically permantly mounted and hardwired, but I see no reason they could not also be utilized in a portable type use and powered by any 12volt DC source.

It can be used as a USB power source long as it's low power. aka not a Iphone or tablet (technically you could but it would take like 2 days)
