Merry Christmas you reefgeeks !
Colin, yes the power bar will run as many halides as you have sockets, but just cant exceed the 1500 w rating in total. You cant however, exceed 400w of halide per outlet, this will blow the internal fuse for that individual socket. In my case i had 6 halides, 4 PC`s, and Led`s...so i had run a powerbar off of one of the outlets from the profilux, and tried to have more than one halide kick on with the use of one outlet...this was popping the fuses, this confused me becuase i wasnt running more than the 1500w total. I asked Mattias (profilux designer) at Macna about this, and he said on any other type of light it is ok to exceed the 400w per outlet, such as t-5 or pc...but since the coil in halides actually draw way more than that on startup, its too hard on the internal fuse todeal with that power draw all at once. Marc.
