[QUOTE="SPECIAL LOCATION, post: 552056, member: 250"] How much power does your internet router consume? How much power does the in-house-display that you have photo'd consume? Do you have any security alarm / CCTV cameras? Are there any outdoor lights with automatic PIR sensors? As these will consume some power whilst monitoring the detection zone to see if they need to turn the actual light itself on! etc.. etc.. etc.. 3 or 4 small items each drawing anything around quarter to half an amp could soon give you 100watts. Power = Volts x Current. 3x items each using 0.25amps = 0.75amps 0.75amps x 230volts = 172.5watts! Or your 50watts / 230v = 0.22amps approx.. Not a massive amount of current being consumed. [/QUOTE]
