Well I was scared of blowing brakers since I have a ton of stuff plugged into outdoor outlets, and they only run off of 2 15amp breakers. So this morning I dragged all the electrical stuff out. 2 flaming pots, 9 strobe lights, count vigor, leatherface, police lights, 4 400 watt foggers, 1 700 watt fogger, freddy, 5 spotlights, disco ball, dancing frankenstein and skeleton, 2 sets of 1000 watt dj lights, bubble machine, 12 24" blacklights, motorized coffin, mummy, spirit bell, laser cannon. Let it all run for about an hour and miraculously there were no problems. Now I just have 3 walls to finish building, will do that tonight after it cools off. Hoping for a major cold front for halloween, cause it is still damn hot in Fla now.

I'm thinking that the operative words were, "So this morning..."
Are the outside outlets the ONLY things on that breaker? If not, I'd re-try that test at night under run conditions just to be sure.

Try thinging of other ways to supply power. I have 5 floodlights, fogger and audio system. being powered by a cord running through my dryer vent, which is right were a lot of my display is. Separate your power supplies.
