Ok and here is the first question...

we have had two brownouts over the past few days. I think thats the correct term. Basically the power gets real low for a split second and shit turns off then its right back on.
I know thats not good for the hid lighting... should I get a UPS for a computer and hook it up to the ballast? It should only need to maintain the power for 1-5 seconds I would guess.

Good idea? any thoughts?

Thanks!
