Can it power a fan if lights went out? null

I'm guessing here, because I only use it to protect computer equipment. I think it can power a fan, but probably not for very long. During our last power outage I used it to power a LED light bulb (about 4 watts) for several hours, but does a fan draw more than 4 watts?

Thank you for your interest in our products. Yes the unit would power a fan during a power outage. However just note the fan would need to pull under 255 watts. Anything over 255 watts would overload the UPS.
