Voltage monitor
This will give you some idea of what your 120 volts
relly is. And should also give some idea of if youre
takeing too much power.
you will need a digital voltmeter to get it set up
right. After this is setup connect it to the same
circuit as your christmas lights (or whatever circuit
you want to monitor). If the number of LEDs that are
on changes (when your lights are blinking) by any
more than 1, you may have the circuit overloaded. If
your computer, stereo, tv, etc is on that circuit, I
would reccomend not using it while the lights are on
or moving something to another circuit

local electronics store. Some will
harder to find
