or decorative outfits end-to end up to a maximum of 216 Watts (1.8 Amps) total.
lf connecting to a lighting string that does not have a Wattage (W) rating {found on the tag within 6 inches of the
plug} calculate the wattage as follows: Multiply the current(_____A) which is on the flag-type tag by 120.
For Example: Lighting string is rated 120V, 60 Hz, 0.2 Amps. 0.2×120=24 Watts
Add the wattage of each light string together for a total of 216Watts or less. (Do not exceed 216 Watts.)
