Hard to say. The PD should have a data plate on it giving the maximum current draw. So should the TV. In this weather we shouldn't need to worry about electric blankets, and I'll assume for the nonce that you don't have a waterbed and hence no WB heater. So that would leave that 10hp vibrator...:-)

The breaker handle for that circuit should have the current rating stamped on it...like "15" or "25".

But *strobing* in an incadescent lamp is really odd...unless the PD machine constantly stops and restarts the pump. Sorry...my PD expert divorced me a few years ago, so I only see her once a week when I do visitiation with my youngest...who starts *high school* in the fall. :-)
