I'm already limited to one outlet in my house that doesn't blow a breaker for two Einteins. How many can I plug into one outlet that has nothing else going on? I have 4 more on backorder. :( |

That depends on the amperage of the breaker. A 15A breaker should be able to support 4 lights. The lights will pull about 16-18A initially after firing. But because it is such a short period of time that is does this, you will not trip the breaker (unless you are firing Disco-fever speeds). |

It depends on the firing rate and how long you fire them. Three to four is generally OK, put if you use four on a 15A breaker and keep firing them as soon as they recycle you will probably blow the breaker in a few minutes. |

I got my v2's in... had positive results plugging 6 into 2 outlets in the kitchen... supposedly on the same breaker. I fired them off on full power about 10 times just to test... looks good! On another note... 6 model lamps on full power really lights up a room, lol. |

That's about right . . . three per standard 15A circuit. But separate outlets in the same area of a house are often on the same 15A breaker so you may have to run an extension cord to another room to run six units. |

W = A * V So if a "standard" breaker in a house circuit for you guys is 15A @ 110V, that means your power-points are rated at 15 * 110 = 1,650W. Ours use a 10A breaker as "standard", 10A * 240V = 2,400W. So we should be able to run (1 or 2) more lights per power-point (circuit) then you guys up there ?? AB (from Downunder :) ) |
