Hey OP do you have a kill-a-watt you could purchase locally. If you are in the states Home Depot and Lowes carry them. If you can find one locally I am sure we could get together the 3 or 4 BTC to get some accurate power readings.
The kill-a-watt brand doesn't appear to be commercialized here in europe, and I've been searching for an equivalent device locally each time I've had a chance to head out to a store for the past couple of days, but no luck so far.
Well that sucks. A more universal albeit expensive tool is a clamp meter.
