The 100-bulb strand of incandescent Christmas lights is rated at 40.8W of power. When stacked, two strands consume twice the power (81.6W =2 x 40.8W) and act as two resistors in parallel to a 120V source. If the 120V source is safe guarded by a 15A circuit breaker, and the 15A circuit breaker will actually "trip" (open up) at 80% its rating (which is often the case in the real world!), how many strands can be run at the same time without tripping the circuit breaker? If you use 100-bulb strands of LED Christmas lights instead, how many strands can you run at the same time? Assume LEDs run at 1/10th the power of incandescent bulbs.
