    How do you know it is 83 amps without knowing the supply voltage?

    Roman, we need to know the voltage before we can tell you what amperage draw would be for 10K of lights.

    The answer of 83 amps is based upon 120 volts.

    Without knowing the voltage from anyone, either 120/240 volts the default voltage would 120v.
    Yes, I should have gone back and asked for the primary voltage if not stated.
