multiple hps lights or one
i did wire them parallel i just got the terms mixed up. my main concern is safety. plus i only spent 3 cents per watt output, 120$ total on lights and I got 56,700 lumens out of my contraption. With the shields on , i can get the bottom lights up close and personal with no leaf damage. i also put a layer of sand over the soil to reduce the potential bug problems. my electrical has been reviewed by many and have thought it was good and proper. i am running the standard 120 volts at my house i have 14 lights drawing what i believe 50 watts apiece. the lights are wired in parallel and on two different 15 amp max converted extension cords, those are attached to two mechanical timers that are plugged into a surge protector. one 10 inch fan for ventilation and one 6 inch for circulation, on a separate timer. all wire connections have wire nuts and those are secured by friction tape. i am in no way an expert on any of this so your concerns and comments are GREATLY appreciated.
