Below is a usb sting light and a power converter that you can wire to your generator. This will allow you to plug in any usb device you want to power!

If you would prefer to be able to run your own wires and lights, then you can plug this into the usb port and connect your wires that lead to the LED's. might take some experiementing, as I don't know if that might fry the LED might be worth a try:

This isnt "needed" but if your LED's are flashing off the generator, I can explain how to use these, might be worth trying without them and if it doesnt work out, then you can get them:

With the usb, it is hard to say how much juice you will have, but you will likely be able to power Red Green Blue (RGB) strips, and then you can select any color you like, (including white)
