So im about to get 32 gavita e series 1000 watt de lights. My question is when hooked up to the gavita controller does each fixture have to be plugged into its own wall outlet? If thats the case i need 32 different outlets as well as 32 different breakers? Or if i run it 240v i guess i can get 3 on 1 20 amp breaker? Im tryin to get a commercial room going but before i purchase i need to figure out what needs to be done electrically to my building. Any input appreciated, thx in advance.
 
Of course each fixture will need a wall outlet. A 20 amp feed can handle up to 16 amps before you start popping breakers. Your lights draw 5.1 amps at 240 volts running on max setting. So 3 lights per 20 amp feed at 240 volts. So you will need 11 x 20 amp 240 volt feeds.
 
For some reason i thought the pic in the owners manual was for the power cord daisy chaining 5hen i looked again and its the usb interface cord to hook to the controller. Lol...
