Are the lights capable of running on 240? The outlets are different for 240 also.
2000W @ 120V = approx 10 amps. 14 gauge wire will handle 20A @ 75 degrees.

They are capable and come with separate power cord to match the plugs.
Here's my motivation. My lights also have a connector to run 2 drivers totalling 1300W. That's too much for the plug seeing some.scorching there.
GFI's are rated for amperage also, should be a label on it. If it was pulling too much it should trip also...
1300W @120V is about 11A, the outlet should be able to handle it.

That was awesome!
Except for me piling peripherals on top and I want to run 850 more watts. So I have to think about what I plugs in where. Annoying. MOAR POWER PLEEZE!1300W @120 is about 11A, the outlet should be able to handle it.

When I was younger I worked for an electrian for a short period of time. He was a total moron in many ways. He'd never shut a breaker off when he was working and you'd hear him scream and swear all the time lol I left after a couple weeks of dumb shit.....couldn't take it lol
I love his channel.

He already burned his house down or himself by now,lol
almost burned himself down a few times too.

One day we needed to snake a new wire from one finished room to another, but into the closet (Wonder what that outlet was used for 
) it went down an exterior wall. I asked if he wanted me to drill the hole through a number of studs. "Oh nope" he said and made a little bit of a stink about it's his problem if I mess up. "Well ok, I'll wait on the other side and tell you when you made it through", I said. After a bit of drilling, he asked if "I see it yet?".....nope not yet. Then he said, "well I can see light!" I thought to myself "well I'm in a dark closet dip shit where do you think the light is coming from" He drilled through the exterior wall and out the siding

Sounds like you need another 20A 120V circuit.
Overloading a circuit is very bad! Do not burn down that beautiful house!
It would help to know power requirements for every device in order to calculate maximum power needed. Fans and the like typically pull less than 30 watts so 10 of those would be around 300 watts or less. Max 2400 watts per 20A circuit.
EDIT: If any plug is showing burn marks, it needs to be replaced.
Yup on my list. I will cut power first though!
Diagnosed my heating problem. Flooded expansion tank. Boiler tech coming tomorrow. It lasted 8 years, 3 years past warranty. Pretty sure the previous one, still stuck in the joists, lasted 10 times that. Looks like a confederate submarine.
