6 led down lighters
2 led colour changing strips

Work out what size you need first, then the rest is just down to budget. Can't go wrong with a Honda really. Had a small EU20i for years now and never missed a beat. Still holds quite a lot of value on the second hand market too.

The first thing you need to do is find out how many amps of current the equipment draws & that will help define how big the generator needs to be. When it's hooked up what connector is on the cable? Is it something like a 16A or 32A Commando style?
