It depends on which lights get used. A 100-count string of incandescent mini lights runs at 40 watts, while a 70 count of 5mm Wide Angle LEDs is approximately 4.8 watts total. In fact, because incandescent wattage is 80-90% more than LED wattage, the cost to power an incandescent can be up to 90x greater than powering an LED.

Calculate Amps by dividing total wattage by 120 volts (US household outlets carry 120 volts)

So about .33 for incandescent and about 4 for LED.

How many Stringing Christmas Lights can you put up before a fuse blows?

It depends on what type of Christmas lights. If they are the (now) standard 50 , 100, 150, mini-lights, they use a 3A fuse and you COULD use a MAXIMUM of about 750 lights if they are strung together from one string (end to end plugs) before blowing the fuse built into the plug of the first light set. If you plug them into separate outlets (or into an outlet-strip), then you could light about 3750 lights on a (otherwidse unused) 15 A household circuit. With the new LED type Christmas lights, it might be even more.


How many lights can you have on a circuit?

15 amps at 80% = 12 amps continuous. Watts = Amps x Volts.


One of your clients claims an employee plugged in Christmas lights to two ouotlets on the same run How is this possible?

Some string of lights have a plug on one end. If it has prongs, then this is the plug which goes into the wall outlet. The other end of the string of lights has another plug on the other end. This end plug has no prongs. However it has holes for you to stick another string of lights of the same type on to. You can keep adding on lights to each end. The male plug goes into the female receptor end. Do not over load with too many attachments. Merry Christmas
