Re: LEDs connected to Solenoid Breakout. It's illegal, but why?

Sorry,
Left off the last zero. 750 ma at 12 volts is 9 watts.
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."
