It is no problem to run small AC appliances from the VII. However, depending on what you are running, the time available may not be what you are needing (you can't run a fan for a week, for example. You may only get an hour or two, depending on the size of the fan). You can run the inverter off a car battery for longer run times (or a larger capacity deep cycle marine battery, and cables are included for this purpose). The reccomendation for keeping model lamps off is the run time of the battery is greatly diminished, as well as the wattage is too much for the VII to handle (4x 250W bulbs= 1000 watt draw), and can overheat the inverter.
