   Inverters and transformers must be an enormous overhead. I have lights connected to an UPS. On battery, just the lights, last about 45 minutes.
   A little phone USB power bank connected to those same lights, a bank about the size of a phone, ran these lights in a test for over 24 hours. I've lost track how long these have been on continuously.

     I didn't think the energy density was THIS huge!

     So if I could get all of it, I'd have 90 minutes. Still insane difference.
