How much load can a neptune dc8 handle?
Can you run more than one mh on a single plug in, or two heaters on a single plug in?

Each socket can handle 6 amps max, so you're looking at about 720 watts per socket and 15 amps max for the entire bar.

You can use an expansion socket like this one to plug multiple halides into one spot.
It is basically a relay that is controlled by the dc8 that has two plugs on it. They are really helpful when you are reaching the 15a max limit but still want to control halides and such that are on a different circuit as they pull power from a separate plug. http://www.amazon.com/Digital-Aquati.../dp/B001EHJPT0
