Where's your Kill-a-Watt?

[Mono]

HEY BRS Investigates team, Of course you've guys have put together the best lighting series ever. Where were you ten years ago when I started out!?

And kudos for running the "Black Box" tests. I know you guys don't sell them, so it was a community favor. Thank you! And Ryan held himself in check BUT you could really see he was struggling.

That said, Where's your Kill-a-Watt? Why not give us a Watt/Amp reading at the suggested setting for each light. I think it would a pretty interesting piece of information and pretty easy to do.

Obviously, one could factor in the cost of running a particular light at the recommended settings but the amperage draw can also be pretty useful as we work to max out our circuits. Help us avoid the plug-and-pray approach to flipping a circuit breaker. (OK, maybe I can add on one more heater and a new refugium light...ooops guess the light did it!)

Just a suggestion of things we'd like to see for 2021!

I like the suggestion! We gave all of the lights we tested away last week, so I'm not sure you'll see a comprehensive test on lights and wattage draw in the near future. But, it would be an interesting thing to add to any BRStv investigates lighting videos going forward! :)
