It's a pain planning your lighting project and not knowing how much juice you're going to need. Well, bust out the calculators, here are some tips.
Standard C7 Bulbs are 5 watts
25 Bulbs = 1.14 approx Amps
50 Bulbs = 2.3 approx Amps
100 Bulbs = 4.5 approx Amps
Standard C9 Bulbs are 7 watts
25 Bulbs = 1.6 approx Amps
50 Bulbs = 3.2 approx Amps
100 Bulbs = 6.4 approx Amps
Mini lights vary in voltages but many we carry are 2.5 volt
300 Mini lights = 1 Amp
Total Number of Bulbs X Bulb Wattage ÷ 110 = Amps Needed
These are the rules we run with, we hope they help you when planning your lighting project.
