This is 100 percent true. Also never exceeded 80 percent of the available load. so nothing over 16 ampsWatts/Volts=Amps
You might want to check the wattage on everything and then do a little math to determine your total amperage being drawn. A 20amp breaker should handle those things you described. The breaker could be bad. There also maybe other items on that circuit adding to the load besides your grow equipment. Have you checked?

Follow both the quoted statements above ...This is 100 percent true. Also never exceeded 80 percent of the available load. so nothing over 16 amps
BINGO thank you very much it's a 2000 watt LED light bought an extra light but I put the carbon filter & fan on & the LED light on 1 breaker the heating pad in another bedroom which the light & the heating pad on 1 breaker the filter & the other light on the other which hopefully it'll be fine, All I'm trying to do is to grow 4 good plants is all, not trying to grow a farm like I've seen so far, they're pretty niceFollow both the quoted statements above ...
Check the amps and do the math. 1000w of LED will use roughly 8.3 amps. As you see, there's plenty of amps still available for fans and a seedling mat. I'd be looking at what else is on that circuit first. If nothing else is found, look at your breaker and wiring for signs of problems. Hopefully its as easy as moving some things to a different circuit.
2000w pulled from the wall? Can you post a link to this light please?BINGO thank you very much it's a 2000 watt LED light bought an extra light but I put the carbon filter & fan on & the LED light on 1 breaker the heating pad in another bedroom which the light & the heating pad on 1 breaker the filter & the other light on the other which hopefully it'll be fine, All I'm trying to do is to grow 4 good plants is all, not trying to grow a farm like I've seen so far, they're pretty nice
It’s not a true 2000wattsBINGO thank you very much it's a 2000 watt LED light bought an extra light but I put the carbon filter & fan on & the LED light on 1 breaker the heating pad in another bedroom which the light & the heating pad on 1 breaker the filter & the other light on the other which hopefully it'll be fine, All I'm trying to do is to grow 4 good plants is all, not trying to grow a farm like I've seen so far, they're pretty nice
It’s most certainly not 2000 true watts2000w pulled from the wall? Can you post a link to this light please?
That's what I'm inclined to believe but lets see ... I've yet to see 1 light pull 2000w from the wall but I suppose it could exist.It’s most certainly not 2000 true watts
that bullshit cheap LED manufactures say
On a 110 system that would be 18 amps. Ain’t no way that thing is pulling 2000 watts. No one could use it without a dedicated generator, lol.That's what I'm inclined to believe but lets see ... I've yet to see 1 light pull 2000w from the wall but I suppose it could exist.
It would only be practical to run it on 220v and up.On a 110 system that would be 18 amps. Ain’t no way that thing is pulling 2000 watts. No one could use it without a dedicated generator, lol.
I am assuming the the OP isn’t running 220. I have a couple dual ballast. I only ever ran one on 220 for a grow I did a number of years ago. I didn’t see much advantage in continuing on with it. Especially for the small grows I do now.It would only be practical to run it on 220v and up.
Now with that said, I did run a special 30 amp dedicated circuit to power six 240w quantum boards and 450w Spider farmer board. That comes out to 1890w plus accessories. The lights alone run at about 16amps. To do this requires some electrician's skills, a different breaker and upgraded wiring.
1/2 the amps but twice the voltage, and more expense in having it wired. You're not gaining any advantage unless it's already there and your lights are already wired to use it.I am assuming the the OP isn’t running 220. I have a couple dual ballast.

yea ive been looking at some of the commercial LEDS ive only really seen 1000w.That's what I'm inclined to believe but lets see ... I've yet to see 1 light pull 2000w from the wall but I suppose it could exist.
Here's a real nice light to add to your list.Nice

I have an extra laundry room that is next door to my grow room. There is a false panel access plate between the two. I use it to run my exhaust hose through and connect to the unused dryer duct going out of the house. I also run Power cords through it e.g 220 if I want it. That access point also serves for a passive intake into my grow room. Works well.1/2 the amps but twice the voltage, and more expense in having it wired.

thankyou! still looking, had a list somewhere cant find itHere's a real nice light to add to your list.

They don't claim it is 2000 watts.How does Spiderfarmer come up with 2000 watts on their SF2000 model because that would mean that light would pull about 10 amps from the wall, correct?
