Interesting idea..

but the flip side says if your compressor overdraws and the breaker trips..
you'll be in the dark.

I USE TEFLON TAPE. Lowes has a heavier (thicker) tape for "Gas
Fittings" that may help if the tolerances of your fittings are iffy.

I also put my compressor on a switch leg so that turning off the shop
lights turns off the cohmpresor feed as well as the feed to the little
power transformers for the battery chargers and such.
