[Elecraft] 120V vs 240V

Phil, was the light dimming occurring before or after your pulled the 240V 
branch into the shack?  If it was after, I'm curious why the lights would 
dim if they're on a 120V branch while the amp is on its own 240V branch. 
Seems if they're dimming after pulling the new 240V circuit, then the 
dimming is the result of the TRX current and not the amp?  Tnx!
