on sale Mains Power Consumption Meter

[bbayjohn]

Here is something that helped me to figure how much load I can put on a 240v controller. These sales don't last long on this web site.
Useful to check the amps of a light string before you convert to dc or how many can be plugged into a controller before you reach maximum load.
