ok i know this thread is old but just in case KB still looks at it i'm gonna throw in my 2 cents. A generator like that probably has a 240v n a 120v plug. So adjust accordingly. btw a 1kw lite draws 8.333 amps on 120 and 4.17 on 240. also its not about the amperage its about the wattage ur drawing a generator like that u wanna look at the continuous output wattage if its say a 5kw gen with 3kw continuous then u shouldnt go over the contnuous rating although u can use up to 80% of its full rating without too many probs. hope this helps. Caio
