It doesn't say on the box or manual. I'd think a 3 ft. string wouldn't take more than about 3 watts considering its florecent. Right?
I'd probably be best off cuuting the wire on the lights past the little back converter box which I beleive changes the voltage or something and running a PSU outlet supply straight to the string of lights.
UPDATE: I guess I need the little black converter thing. It doesn't work without it.
Do you know another way to tell what the power draw is on one string of lights? Don't you think a 450watt PSU should be able to handle this, since I only have 1 harddrive and a video card that doesn't draw any power from any extra outlet except the AGP port on the system I'm considering adding a string of these lights to.
Just noticed it says on the box warning to keep away from computers as it can cuase interference. I wonder how? I guess that might pass on this idea.
