I already have a generator but want a LENTRY! Is this possible?
Yes, and it is easy! LENTRY Legs (also called LENTRY Stands or LENTRY Frames) and the telescoping lights retrofit to existing generators and are sold by themselves (see our Combos and Pricing page). They are generator-specific: one frame fits Honda EU2000i generators, another fits Honda EU1000i generators (and their international equivalents).
We also make a LENTRY Frame/Legs which will fit some generators with Robin Subaru engines, rated 1650W max, 1400 continuous. Often rounded up to 1700, these generators are sold under names like Pramac Pi1700, Cummins Onan P1700i, Baldor PC17Ri and others. Please call to see if we have legs to match your generator.
The telescoping pole lights are sold only with the frames or to those that already have the frames because the lights attach to the frames via a single or dual light base. Our telescoping polelights do not attach directly to the generators as other gen/lights do. You can add the LENTRY Legs to your existing generator, or add both the Legs and a Light, in just a few minutes.
Which generator should I get?
Consider your power needs and storage limitations. The EU2000i is more popular due to providing twice the power, but is larger than the EU1000i.
The EU1000i provides 1000 watts of power for starting and is rated for 900W continuous.
The EU2000i provides 2000 watts of power for starting and 1600W continuous.
One 650 watt light leaves 250 watts available from the EU1000i. Without the light, we have been able to run only small appliances such as a coffee maker with the EU1000i.
With the 650W light, the EU2000i can still run additional tools, having 950 watts continuous to spare. The 1500W light utilizes all wattage from the EU2000i and is is too big for the EU1000i.
Honda EU2000i generators are powerful enough that LENTRY Units with them can run two 650W lights simultaneously, for 50,000 lumens of light at once. Dual units and 2-Headed XTs both use two 650W lights and work with EU2000is.

How do you get more power from the 1000 watt and 2000 watt Honda generators?
Both generators may be linked to another of the same wattage (EU1000i to another EU1000i or EU2000i to another EU2000i) to realize twice the wattage/power output. An optional Honda Parallel Cable is required (not available through our internet site) and it fits both generators.
Can Honda EU-series generators charge car batteries?
Yes! And LENTRY Legs make it really easy by allowing for setup of the generator on a slanted or otherwise imperfect surface and lifting the generator up within easy reach. An optional Honda DC Charging Cable is required (not available through our internet site) and it fits either Honda generator.
