16 lamps and that guy wants you to use a little corner of your garage..lol.


They have a film called C3 anti-detection film, use it. With that many lights I would be sure and wrap your space, including the ceiling with film like this in case they attempt to use an IR camera to detect your grow. Honestly though this way too many lights for a residence. If your seriously attempting to avoid detection, aren't you concerned about the nearly 10k watts your using on a hourly basis? I just read an article about a guy that had something like 10x1k lights in his space and the energy company reported him to the sheriffs office which got a warrant and arrested the man. The article went on and on about how the guy used up the equivalent of 25 homes worth of electricity even with the ac on, yada yada. The point is that the utility company can and will monitor your electricity usage and when you exceed the limit by x%, and who knows what that number will be, and they start asking questions. If your serious about using 10k watts, perhaps your best off to locate your grow outside the home in a barn or something. This way you can get a generator that will allow you to get off the grid. It would be way cheaper to run the lights on a generator then it would be to pay ur utility company. Otherwise I would consider a more industrial location off ur property where electricity usage of this kind isn't noticed. my two cents
