had the exact same problem mate accept mine was when i turned on my strobe it would cut my other stuff off solution run all your music gear (Decks, Amp,mixer,computer.speakers,etc) off 1 power board and all lighting n effect of another power board (preferably off 2 wall sockets (1 powerboard plugged into the wall, the other plugged into the next wall socket) it all just puts less stress on your powderboards,wall sockets,adapters,extension leads etc) im just running a 6 slot powerboard for my music gear, and a 4 slot switchable powerboard for my lighting (each slot has spereate on/off switches so i can change my lighting and effect as i please, very useful) just some tips for ya
