I would appreciate some advise re calculating current demand for 12v lighting. Do you need to apply a factor (such as 1.8 for fluorescent lighting) or can you just take the bulb wattage into consideration?

Is the max demand therefore 10 x 13A + ((12 x 13A) * 0.4) = 192.4A...

Does anyone know of a mains power analyser with a capability for testing up to 2000A.
I currently have a trifid model but this has a 1000A maximum limit.
Ideally a unit available for hire would be ideal is i only need to do a 7 day test in the main switch room of a shopping centre.
Thanks...
