msp posted:there is another thread discussion about using too much power on a menders building. As stan2004 pointed out above...a certain power source will supply power to a certain number of lights....do i need to make sure to use the full number of lights in other words...if I use a string of less lights than my power source is capable of supplying do i run a risk of overpower and blowing them.
Hope that makes sense.
No, the voltage is fixed, and only the current required for the existing lights will be used. It's the same as if you plug a 15 watt lamp into your 120V socket at home. The socket can supply up to around 1800 watts, but it only supplies enough power to light the 15 watt lamp.
