Thanks for the advice. I'm calling an electrician first thing Monday morning. I'll just move everything and take down the mylar that morning...

I think my ballast is switchable to 220V (EDIT: I guess it's 240V). Where the bulb socket plugs into the ballast there is a place for 120V and 240V... so I'm assuming that means it can run on both. I didn't no that dryers ran on a separate voltage! Is that the case 100% of the time? I will try it, I just don't want to fry my ballast... but that would be ideal... then I would only have to pay to repair the old circuit. I don't want to dump to much money here because it's a rental as I mentioned. In fact, I'll probably be leaving after I get this grow under my belt.

Thanks again for your help...
lampost Reviewed by lampost on . Fried a circuit (Rental house) PLEASE HELP!!! Shit, I'm so bummed right now. I just started my first, LEGAL medical grow. I'm using a 1000W HPS that a friend gifted me. I was a little worried that might be a bit much since I'm in an old 1930s house with pretty shitty wiring! And I was correct. Today, I was running the HPS and my GF put some popcorn in the microwave and BAM, everything stops... microwave, fridge, HPS! I go out to the circuit breaker and flip all of the circuits. That circuit will not come back on!!! I'm freaked Rating: 5
