How much current is too much to draw through a normal 2 plug outlet? I just ordered some new lighting and was wondering if I'd be running a risk if I had 384 watts of pc light, 2 MJ900's, a dolphin return, heater, skimmer, etc running on surge protectors through one outlet.

I'm guessing it depends partially on the current wiring in my house...but is there a general rule of thumb?

Thanks,
Philip
