So does anyone know how these really work? I need to know if I can hook up 8 ballast to this little machine hook it up to the dryer outlet and all eight lights come one at once? Or is it on a relay where one can be on at a time? PLease help!!!!!!!!!!!
Most dryer outlets are 240v, on a 20 or 30amp leg. Even at 240v you can only safely draw 5000-5500 watts on a 30amp leg. A controller typically delays startup between each ballast so the spike doesn't trip the breaker. So yea, it can run a lot of lights... 8? i don't know.. depends if they are 600w, or 1000w light....
