LOL Yup, anytime your lights go on and your TV goes off.............

If I recall your voltage is higher than what we use here in the States so your actual current draw on a 450 watt light would be half of what we draw here for the same wattage. So for your shit to be going dark...you got an issue with current draw somewhere.

See if you can move your plants to a friends house for a while and get the super or owner or you to fix that shit.

It's an overall draw that's why it's at the fuse box or a faulty connection like said before, one outlet in the circuit could be bad or have a bad ground, it shouldn't cost much just to have an electrician come out and check the outlets for you, if you check them please turn of the main power before even pulling a cover off. The new light may pull less power then all three and you will maybe be ok, but the more a circuit trips and flips, that breaker gets weaker.

Good math, but its only 720w light thats coming and its dimmable plus i dont even have to use 75% or 100% in budding or flowering mood so i will find out whats the problem everbody says its the lights but maybe its the 4 point extension running 3 lights and 1 exhaust fan thats an air ram as carbon filter too. Im confused is it gray posting what grenadian said

I quoted him since he mentioned "Light it up". And it was either time for Jim or Zak, I chose Zak but here's some Jim. Oh wait a minute, your a Scot. Let's go with

If, as you say, it only happens when the lights touch each other then there’s a short in one of the lights or possibly your extension cord. The new light should fix that. To test it, you could plug something that draws 800-1000 watts, like a space heater, into the circuit, if it doesn’t trip, it’s your current light(s) causing it.

It could just be the extension cord itself, sometimes those pins inside can get lose or have a bad solder.

Could just be a simple oversight, check the cord and see if it's warm while it has power going through
