over here i need to help you out a bit.....in the case of lights you're right, the power that the lights consume is 400-600 watts but they consume that power constantly, on the other hand, the computers they have a maximum output of 500 watt.....this means that a computer can power up devices to a total maximum output of 500watt....more or less a normal computer will consume around 200-300 watt per hour of operation....the remaining output from the 500watts is like power reserve in case you want to connect any other components into the system and upgrade it.....
other than that, judging by my own experience so far, i can tell that running 2x400 watt hps is safe enough as long as you do not tell anyone about it.....when i grow i try never to raise suspicion of any kind....i try to keep low profile etc.......a sad story is one of a friend of a friend who got caught by the police..... while he was taking his dog out for a walk he thought it was safe to smoke a joint in the street....that was his mistake, he was growing as well, propably a better setup than mine, more yields and more more more bud.......the cops arrested him in the street because he was carrying a joint with him, to smoke it while he was walking the dog......never do that.....better safe than sorry as people say....
as a summarize,

a:do not tell anyone
b:do not carry joints around with you
c:do not raise suspicion (lights,smell and music)


you have to realise that the cops are not going to come into your house looking for weed if you are a low profiler and do not raise any suspicion and do not disturb/bother anyone......


finally try to install power saving bulbs in the rooms that you use, by getting 10 21watt energy saving bulbs instead of 10 normal 60-100watts incadescent bulbs you will manage to keep a balance in your electricity bill with maybe only a small monthly raise to the consumption of electricity......be cool and you'll be fine.....



take care and happy grow
