Powerstrips...There is a difference!

The term you want is "ground fault circuit interrupter" any leakage is referred to as a "ground fault"

These are the same circuits required by the electric code to be installed outside, near any sink or shower stall, the GFCI will cut off the power so fast you will hardly feel it.

I have one arboreal snake that wraps around his enclosure light all the time, so out of concern for his safety, I wired his cage for 12 volts and use L.E.D. (made for campers) floodlighting inside his cage.

12 volts, almost no heat and it produces lots of nice white light.

Your right.. I just know enough to make me SOUND smart.

I like the 12 volt idea with the L.E.Ds... nice work!
