A standard power outlet is required and up to 9 letters can be on one circuit/standard power outlet – however, older venues and buildings with lower amounts of power may require additional power outlets.

Usually, 10+ letters will require 2 standard power outlets on separate circuits.

If you’re unsure how many outlets you’ll need, we’ll be happy to assist you in determining if 1 or 2 circuits will be required for your desired setup after you’ve submitted our inquiry form.
