Tis the Season.....

Well...the lights are up on the house....we have decorated half the house......and tomorrow...it will happen.........THE tree will go up....not the 4 ft tree....not the 8 ft tree......the 14 ft tree will take shape and heat the house for the next 2 months.

Here is a run down on the AMP load that is required for our home.

Each strand of 100 multi color lights pulls 0.2 amps

So, our 8 foot tree has 1300 lights on it running 2.6 amps...not bad for 13 strands of 100 lights.

The village has 300 white lights under it.

The house pulls 14.6 amps. These are the C6 lights.

THE TREE runs 20 amps....just for the tree. That's 10,000 lights on the tree.
it will take 4 hours just to do the lights.
