Would it be unwise to run 2 xmas lights (like 50 tiny bulbs each single file) and a B800 off Vagabond II? Specifically concerned about Vagabond drain rate and recycle time.

I *think* the xmas lights come in LED or old-school incandescent. If the traditional type is not a good idea, would the LED type be ok?

Another note: How many full-power pops can I get with a B800 and a Macbook Pro hooked up?

thanx

The MacBook shouldn't be a big power draw and won't lower the number of AB800 shots too much (See the specs on our website). But the inverter itself, like a UPS supply, draws power itself when on and will run the battery down in 10 or 12 hours. LED lights are pretty low draw too, unless your are stringing up hundreds or thousands of them. They are typically about 1/4W per bulb.
