I am looking for a portable lighting power solution and came across this:

XP Powerpack 600HD (external link)

Would this work for powering two or three strobes?

I seriously doubt that it would do what you want.

What you need is something that has a "pure sine wave" output from the inverter and the inverter has to be designed so that it won't shut down when the strobes start recycling. There is a HUGE current surge when the strobes just start recycling.

This sort of thing (external link) is the minimum that you could use without problems.
