The fact that this is just a MODEST load suggests the problem has to
be noticeable. If I was pulling 2200W, I could imagine some merit
to downsizing the load to 2000W -- or even 1000W! But, at 675W,
my microwave oven draws that! My *hairdryer* draws more than that!
You do know that incandescent bulbs can pull about
10x the current on turn on?
You do know that having 700W of incandescents on even a 15A
circuit is very common and doesn't cause breakers tripping?
