Thinking further......the easy way to tell would be to look at each individual socket. If it is parallel, you will have 4 wires at each socket. hot in hot out neutral in neutral out or perhaps there is an inline tap point along the wires. That's really the only way to do a parallel circuit. xponent Unless Its Done With Mirrors Maru rob _______________________________________________ http://www.mccmedia.com/mailman/listinfo/brin-l
