Ten LED lights running watts and starting watts
Use these values as a planning range only. The conservative default for ten led lights is 100 W running and 100 W starting.
| Load type | Low | Default | High |
|---|---|---|---|
| Running watts | 60 W | 100 W | 150 W |
| Starting watts | 60 W | 100 W | 150 W |
Source note
LED bulb wattage is printed on each bulb; default assumes ten mixed fixtures at about 10 watts each.
Never operate a fuel-burning generator indoors, in a garage, on a porch, or near open windows. Use a listed transfer switch or interlock installed by a qualified electrician for home wiring, and verify actual device nameplates before buying equipment.
