Default Re: Circuit breaker tripping

Just to kind of elaborate on what Mayhem. (Which is very true)

Because the light is dimmed by turning it on and off, not resisting the current flow, a light will draw the same amount of power weather it is at 100% or 50%, so just dimming them will not be a good way of keeping the breaker from tripping.
