Joe, I was considering the total for LEDs for three strings plus the loads likely for other devices as totaling more than one amp. As Alan reminded me last year the manufacturer has this rather odd table listing for trip modes. One of those lines for total current is this...
"1 to 6 A, Channel does not trip, Module may be damaged."
So if i had an LED strip rated at 200ma (12v) It'd be alright to run off the solenoid breakout?

If its only one strip and minimal other things using the breakout
