Guest guest Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 OK i need some quick imput... i have a mega tree with 21 strand of c-9;s, i could make available 4 channels and divide the tree up i have a ctb 8 with heat sink, does any one think that this would be possible, and if so could they help me with a sequence to chase it?thanks for the help...:happytree::tree::waycool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Well if my math and assumptions are right:1 string of C9's (25 bulbs) at 7 watts each bulb = 1.59 Amps21 Strings would be 33.39 AmpsDivide by 4 channels = 8.34 Amp per channelI would have to say no, I think the MAX per channel is 8 Amps, can't recall what the board max is.

Guest guest Posted December 13, 2005 Share Posted December 13, 2005 Max on the board is 15 Amps...so No way that's gonna work...more than double the board capacityI've put 320 C9s on an 8 channel board over 4 channels. Never pushed any further than that. Also, most of the time, these are not all on at one time... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 this is kinda what i figured, o well guess the mega tree will have to wait untill next year to chase and dance with the music.. bummer. o well good excuse to buy more boards for next year..thank you so much for the help! :tree::happytree::waycool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 You could do it with MINIs this year. I have 2 8' trees done with minis using 12 channels each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
