I run a coralife Power bar with 4 programmable plugs and 4 normal and a heavy duty outdoor power bar from Stanley with 8 plugs

i fried / melted a few switches on one of my old American DJ strips. They're apparently fuse-protected so I'm not sure what all went wrong in those situations. The other 2 I owned had no issues nor did the similar Chauvet brand strip I also had.

I picked up one of the Costco APC 8-port ones. Looks really well built, and for $20, can't really go wrong. Thanks!
