All depends if they are LEDed or not.

LEDs can cut the amperage draw of a game in half.

BUT (there is always a but), TZ often seems to flake out or reset if put on a crowded circuit.

Also, old houses tend to have many other circuits that "steal" from any available junction box, so don't automatically assume that only that room shares that breaker.

Most games peak between 4-5 amps, but if LEDed they are sometimes under 2 amps.

This has beet tested many times and you can sometimes save more than half. Some games you only save 40%. YMMV of course.

I never said otherwise. TZ has always been a problematic reset game, long before LEDs were popular.

Hardly.

That is just a boiler plate sticker, not an actual reading of the individual game.

I've measured many games for electrical consumption and distribution at the shows.

Sure, somebody with all 5 chip LEDs will draw more power than somebody using the single chip Ablaze.

And an EM like Fireball with incandescent lamps and big disc motor draws 3.4 amps peak.....

Thanks for some real life examples !

I guess that the heavier gauge wire has a little less resistance....so that is one small gain.

I love overkill.

Just tested a LEDed AFM - 2.3A peak
