How many xmas light can I put on a 50 amp circuit?

goog grief Wolley! Chevy Chase's place in Xmas Vactation comes to mind!

ok, well...240x50=12000 watts , of which the 80% rule (or your taking 20% off)would equal 9600 watts of availability.

it sounds as if you've spread the load out among your circuitry here,

some Q's would be, how long a #6 run is it to your garage?

are you using GFI's?
