Electrical engineering is not my forte. That said, I'm thinking about doing a project involving MR16 EYC lamps for my photography hobby. I know that, as most households are rated at 120Volts (depending on how happy the grid is in your area), this requires serial circuiting the lamps in groups of 10 to get down to 12 volts at each lamp. However, how does one calculate the amperage they are drawing? Is it the combination of each 75watt lamp at 12 volts? Or is it the 750 watts at 120 volts? Just trying to figure out how much draw I would actually be putting on things. Also, to be fair, I've been completely blanked mentally on how mini strips worked until I reread about serial wiring today. DUH!
Thanks!
