I am setting up an apex with 2 EB8s . I have 2 separate electrical circuits in the area where I'm installing the system. My question is should both EB8s be plugged into the same circuit, or can I have them plugged into separate circuits??

Either way is fine as long as one or both of the circuits can handle the load.
Ok thanks!! I was worried that since everything is essentially daisy chained together that having them connected on difrient circuits might fry something. That would be an expensive error!! LOL thanks again.

You need to look at what your outlet can handle for total Amps, If you wont blow the circuit plugging both in (like me) you will be fine.

I purposely have them on seperate circuits. My thinking is in the unlikely event one would trip but not the other, I would still have some light and some circulation. Half my lights and return are on one EB8 and the other half of the lights and circulation is on the other EB8.

I will be notified if either one loses power but at least things can run until I can take action.
