bobby shea Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 HELLO EVERYONE ! My question is this I have designed my display with target lights (.2 amps per 100) My display will have 14000 lights on when everything is lit. I am running them off 2 20 amp gcfi breakers . Iam using 2 16 channel lor. I have planned and sequenced 4 color changes. this means Iam using 56000 lights. Do you forsee problems that I have not thought of ? thank you for any advice bobby shea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's for 6 controllers only. Figure two 15 amp circuits per controller. Also calculate your load per channel and each 8 channel banks on the controllers.

Donald Puryear Posted October 12, 2008 Share Posted October 12, 2008 It should work. I would use 4 20 amp circuits. Each color will use approx. 28 amps. During the transitions your current draw will exceed 30 amps. better safe then sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
