OK so tonight I started to figure out how many lights i was going to use on each of my mini trees. I was thinking of running 4 strands (100 count) of each color clear, red, green Incandescent on 8, 4 foot fake trees. All the clears will have there own channel each, the red i was going to group over 2 channels, so 4 trees on 1 channel and that goes the same for green. Simple i thought till i go into the garage and grab 8 boxes of 100 count clear and my Kill-a-watt meter thing the power company gave me this past summer. So i plug all 8 boxes together and plug into the kill-a-watt. All 8 the amps are 2.61 and 4 there 1.32amps. So I know with 400 Incan I'm well under the 2amps per channel, i want to put 4 trees together on a channel which will make the amps 5.28ish i believe. I know that's too much.
So am i figuring this out right?
Its funny I was more confused about this till i wrote the numbers down and wrote up this post but i think i have answered my own question and made more scene of it now :happy:
