Types of lights

[katie]

I was wondering if there is anywhere I can find a list of the different
types of lights(icicle, net, standard 100 light string) with their power requirements and other specs?

Thanks

The exact power consumption for each individual type of light set is impossible to determine. There are too many variables. However a rule of thumb is that 100ct mini lights use about 40 watts or 1/3 amp of power. C7 and C9s use 4 and 7 watts respectively per bulb. Leds use about .04 watts per 50ct string.

My C7's are 7watt, and C9's (which I don't own) are 10Watts

Yes thankyou, I realize I will have to double check the ones I buy but this gives me a starting point to plan with.

One of the items you may want to consider for your tool box is the "Kill A Watt" power meter.

Just plug it in and get the wattage or amperage of any item.

Or leave it plugged in and get an accurate measurement of how much electricity your show really uses.

Just the first site I found with a good explanation.

This is a great tool, and will tell you what your power consumption is. I just want to add that the guy that comes annually to calibrate all the test equipment on my company truck, did some testing of my Kill-A-Watt. It is very accurate! It actually had better accuracy than my Fluke Clamp-On.

Hmm That looks cool. It is not too expensive either.
