So I came across a power cost chart and it mentioned that you shouldn't draw more than 75% of the rated amps of the circuit. So here is my question- my grow space has a 16 amp circuit. I have 130w of cfl which draws about 1.5 amps. A blower that draws 1.2 amps at full power. And a 1k HPS lamp that draws 9 amps. A couple smaller fans that probably draw another amp. So that's about 12-13 amps that I will be drawn.

Is drawing 13 amps from a 16 amp circuit too risky? Anyone know an electrician they can ask? Thanks ahead.....
