Don't have to pay $$ for electrical upgrades.I use two 15 amp outlets for 480 channels and over 40,000 LED lightsThat is one of the main & best reasons to buy LEDs.I was going to say that the Lor Reduction Sale (February) is the best sale.......lowest prices, but also the lowest stock. Where as the July sale is a tiny bit more $ but no limits.I need to be ready when the sale start in Feb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never pull more than 20 Amps off the pool sub-panel during the winter. It's too cold to run the Heat pump which draws the most.Any thoughts of running a Sub panel off another?FYI: Breakers are sized for the wire NOT the load. You should NEVER replace a breaker with a larger one unless the wire is sized accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was going to back out the wire and run it off the sub-panel. Run new wire from the main to the sub. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
