Is it ok to have 3 LED lights plugged into the same #8 port in the EB8?
Also, can I have 2 300 watt finnex heaters plugged in the same #4 port on the EB8?

I have 4 20 watt leds for my scrubber plugged into 1 eb outlet. Not sure about the dual heaters.

These 3 LED lights are the main tank lights.

Ahh, I am not sure then how much an outlet can handle. Maybe someone else who knows more about it can chime in.

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
Number of Solid State Switched Outlets 6
Number of Relay Switched outlets 2
Maximum Current Draw per Solid State Outlet 5 Amps (570-600w)
Maximum Current Draw per Relay Outlet 10 Amps (1140-1200)
Maximum Allowed Current Draw (total of all outlets) 15 Amps (1710-1800)

You need the power factor for the led's to know the true amps they pull. I used .95 & 1 for the numbers in blue.

How about the two heaters on 1 outlet?
It seems most of our tank equipment can go on any outlet, even multiples on the same, is that correct? Not talking about metal halide though....Mostly LED lights, sump led lights, heaters, skimmer pump, WAV, COR-15 Pump, etc...
