Guest guest Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I have a 16 channel board with 20amp fuses. Can I load that fuse a full 20 amps. I know in electrical terms you can only load a circuit 80% but can I load the LOR board a full 100% and put it on a 25amp breaker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I ask the question because looking at the chart that planet christmas has about power consumption it says for c9's to stay under 80% use only 10 strings. I need to plug 12 into one 20amp LOR box. I am only alittle above. Does anybody see any problems? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have portions of the show that pull 20A, but the majority of the show is a little less, I don't think that would be an issue.-Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Isn't there a way to turn the total intensity on the board itself down? I may be wrong but I seem to remember hearing something about this. To where I could dim my total lights 90% to conserve energy. I did buy the deluxe board which I thought had this option.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Yes you can go into the configuration screen in the Hardware Utility and set the MAX intensity for that controller to 90%. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
