nerdifiedgeek Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I currently have C-9 strobe lights from christmaslightshow.com. I need to order more but they are currently out of stock. I may go ahead and order them for when they are in stock, but I was shopping around for other options and I found these..http://www.creativedisplays.com/product/890/C-9-Incandescent-Strobe-Clear/My question is, they show that they are 6 watts, and if you ordered the 10, that's 60 watts. A standard circuit is only 15 watts, what am I missing? Their LED lights are only 1 watt, but that's still 10 watts total which is practically a whole circuit. I don't know what the wattage is of the christmaslightshow.com lights, but I think I have to be missunderstanding how the wattage works considering I've been using 6 of the strobes already.....

-klb- Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Think you have watts & amps confused. For our purposes, voltage times amps = watts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom Clapper Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I just tested mine with a kw meter and one strobe pulled .18 amps so ten strobes would pull approx 1.8 amps. Oh and mine are from CLS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
