Yes, if their combined running load stays within the unit's output. Add the actual watts of each light and device.

Question 2

What about a sewing machine?

Accepted Answer

Many sewing machines are manageable loads, but motor size and startup demand vary. Check the machine label.

What size system suits video editing?

Accepted Answer

Size from the editing computer, monitor, storage, router and any studio lights that must run at the same time.
