That is basically what I was saying about the article being disingenuous to a degree.
No mention of high dollar battery bank and DC to AC converter (inverter).
Think they were trying to make the reader think just hook up their 1.5 KW gen. to your house and you're in business.
Lots of folks don't know how *electricity works* and are gullible to scams.

Now you have raised a good question. I put 3 led light bulbs above my desk equiv to a 40 watt. They have fins to radiate heat. When I touch theses bulbs, they are just as hot as an incandescent bulb. Yet, they are suppose to save energy.

When they measure the energy usage of these bulbs do they ignore the transformer part?
