Is that 2400W per outlet. So I have two outlets and could draw 4800W?

Hey guys. I have 130 sets of lights that are just standard led from the stores. I run this off 2 outlets that is 10amps. How many sets will I be able to run off the house without blowing the power. The lights are all 100% waterproof. Thanks.

Yours looks really good and the kind I was considering to build. How tall is your tree and what’s the size of the trampoline base? I’m starting to think that if PVC is strong enough that may be the way to go instead of metal poles to keep the weight down. Thanks.

Wow. I’m really considering that this might be a possible option this year but I have a few questions. How much do you think it would take to do a full set up of about 70? What would I need to buy? Can you send some links of products, software, YouTube videos etc. that might help me make up my...

Thanks for all those replies, very helpful. For my display I take waterproofing pretty serious and buy the $38 black waterproof boxes from Bunnings for all of my powerboards. I try to keep my cords all organised and here’s a photo of what my PowerPoint looks like at the moment. Any tips or...

Sorry I’m new to understanding power loads as I am only 16 but trying to do a large display on my own. What do you mean by not having 240 running around the display. Sorry for the late reply, I was only allowed to do 6 replies in 12 hours. Thanks

Thanks for that information, Now that I shouldn’t be worried about overloading a power point what would be the best way to distribute power? Should I plug in a 6 outlet powerboard to the wall then using extension leads send power out to another 6 outlet powerboard? This would leave me with 12x 6...

Yeah, I’ve drawn plans which I will take photos of to show you tomorrow. I’ve had a quick look at spiral trees but not really what I had in mind, did you have any photos? Thanks.

My lights are just LED off the shelf lights and I have I think 48 sets. This works fine at the moment but I don’t want to piggyback or run any more lights off outlets using this power source. I have 8x 6-outlet powerboards connected to those 2 outlets of power. Here’s a photo of my lights if...

Thanks for that Fing, I was just thinking about a pretty basic tree and probably now thinking 5.5m tall would work well. My lights I use are just your typical led ones from stores and not pixel lights so I was thinking because I have a few of these (picture attached) laying around I could use...

Hey awesome people, I have just a normal light display and not a show so this is a little different than other threads. I currently run all my power (approx 45 sets) off just 2 outdoor power outlets(check out photo for what that looks like). I think that this year that might become a bit much...

Hey guys, I’ve got a traditional light display and this year I want to make a mega tree. I plan on making it about 6m(20ft) tall, I have a couple of questions I would like answered. what should the diameter of the base be? What length of lights (m) would I need to make it look nice and go...
