Thanks for the suggestion much appricated Looks like they get a short day.

I'm not sure what pops the breaker. I think it just may be a big load on it. Ever since I hooked this light up it does it every now and then. Its a hanging 400w MH lamp from a warehouse, using an HPS conversion bulb. Its wired to the right voltage. plugged into an extension cord, into a power strip, and into the wall, along with 3 fans. And on the other side of the wall, computer/printer/camera charger/desk light/monitor/clock/router/modem.

Maybe I should hook it to a diff breaker in the room? there is another outlet on a seperate breaker. And also I have another lamp, should I try swapping the lamps out perhaps?

Thanks again
IshbOO Reviewed by IshbOO on . lights shut off for 7 hrs what now? Hello there, This is my second grow The plants in week 5-6 of flower with a 400w hps 12/12. They are all looking very awsome and healthy! Bag seeds but some are incredible... I was going to work today, and my circut breaker popped, my lights turned off, and usually take some time to cooldown before they can come back on, So I couldnt get it back on before I head to work. They have now missed 7 hours of light. :mad: Rating: 5
