Question

How many 1000-Watt lights can be plugged into a standard 120-Volt, 15-Amp outlet? (Hint: W/V=A) *

Answer 1

Answer:

There are up to 12 lights and or plugs on that circuit. A 1000w HPS or Metal Halide light takes 9 amps at 120 volts so you can only run one on a wall outlet circuit. A standard dryer outlet is 220 volts and 30 amps so you can power up to six 1000 watt lights on that circuit.
