Lights use almost double the wattage!!!

thoughtwriter Reviewed by thoughtwriter on . Lights use almost double the wattage!!! This threw me into a loop, MY 250W HPS uses about 450Actual watts (about 4Amps @ 120volts) fully warmed up And my 400W HPS uses about 700Actual watts warmed up. This is killing me beause I designated 1 15Amp breaker (only use 70-80% of a breakers rated amp) for 2x 400W Lights, but now I can see that just one will almost max it out! With the fans and the one 400W HPS Im around 8.5Amps total. Rating: 5I am a pathalogical liar. Nothing I say is real, I only do it out of attention seeking motives. Well, that what the doctor said. I take medication for it......:S1: Or do I?
