ABSTRACT

Volts, Amps, and Watts Before I go any further, I need to cover the basics of electricity, electrical loads, and managing power requirements. Lights are pretty hefty power users, so it’s essential at least to understand the rudiments, even if you never intend to take apart a connector or touch a wire end. Basically, you need to have an idea of how many lights you can plug into what outlets without causing a fire or blowing breakers!
