    ha ha if your game is drawing 15amps on the GI circuit alone, something is seriously wrong. You wouldn't be able to plug the machine into a standard home outlet without blowing a fuse pretty quick. (anything over 17 on a 20amp is really pushing it, in my experience).

    Those lamps might be rated at .25 amps but probably only drawing a fraction of that (as little as 10%). For example, our power supplies at work are often rated at 5amps each and there are two in each machine. Their actual working draw is about 1.5amps.
