Title: How many amps with the SSR4 handle?
Post by: FireMedic4Christ on November 29, 2011,

I've browsed the forum and read the manual for the SSR4, but did not see how much this will handle. I have a 12' indoor tree with approximately 2000 incadescant lights that I would like to control wirelessly.

The SSR4 is limited to 1 amp per channel without a heatsink and 2 amps with it for good reasons. This is not a triac issue but heat dissipation/traces/connector rating/safety issue.

This is a quote from RJ. Tried to copy the link from the post but phone not cooperating. If you'd like to view it , search on SSR4 load. In the results see the thread on Lynx SSR4: Higher amps.

Yea i would recommend using an express for that purpose; as the express can handle a lot more power. As each incas uses 48 watts, that's almost half a amp.
