120v LED vs CFL vs 12v Lamps Results
Following up on another thread discussing using inverter and 120v lights with LEDs or CFLs. I have been using a CFL for a reading lamp for some years, but now have an LED bulb to make a comparison. ...

My Samlex is a great 300 watt PSW and it's idle draw is next to nothing. It is a heavy transformer inverter.
The 3000 watt inverter mentioned well above is intriguing. The vendor is claiming Siemens transistors and a Japanese toroid. Not even the old Trace inverters had toroids.
Tear that inverter down! Strip the heat sink! Send it off to be hard black anodized! 137% more heat radiation. A 60-amp 1250 volt full wave bridge rectifier. Chuck the receptacles. Replace with Hubbell 20-amp Nylon units. Remount FETs with silver bearing thermal grease. Mount exterior 50-amp DPDT contactor. Two EB Pabst 120 vac 180 CFM fans mounted exterior. One in and one out flow. Keep that toroid cool. But I do not know the menu format. All the above is a bunch of hot air without knowing if the Vabs max can be time adjusted and Vabs limit set. Same for float. Does is have a feeler-tickler circuit to detect loads for auto turn on? What is the transition time in milliseconds for line to UPS flop-over?
Time to write vendor and decipher Chinglish answer.
And LOSE that Barnum & Bailey paintjob
