Nice. As a friendly warning, just be careful with extension cords that dont have circuit breakers incorporated in them. If you do, make sure you know what youre plugging in and dont go over the rated amount of power draw.

I plug mine into a power strip with circuit breaker.

Yeah thats why i do.
I literally just watched a video about extension cords and why they are dangerous in the U.S. Seemed like a good time to spread some info to someone who may not know and who may be reading.
Hmm. I have a ts1000, im wondering if i could change the driver out for a meanwell and whether it would be possible...Im really digging these drivers. I dont think ill ever get a cheap one again.

Hmm. Maybe I misunderstood them. I thought they meant they plug their devices into one with a breaker.
If I did, you're absolutely correct, do not plug extension cords into powerstrips, even ones with breakers. The wire in the cords can become hot from an overload and start a fire.

Well, if it was for my lights or ac then I wouldn't, but just for my fans, I don't mind.

You have to make sure the extension cord has the same guage wire as the power strip.

I do it all the time myself, but I do so knowing that it's poor practice. I got my OSHA/10 card during the lockdown, which was pretty eye opening.

Lol then it's probably better if I never get that certification. In all honesty my guitar rig is probably much worse than my grow setup.

I mean, if you add up what youre using and what gear you have and it doesnt go over the limit, i suppose its not the end of the world. I wanted to put that out there for anyone who may not know that it is not really advised. Just be careful and cognizant.

I actually recommend that people do get the OSHA/10. It's pretty easy, and as the name implies, only takes 10 hours. The OSHA/30 is a bit of a bear though. As a musician, you might want that knowledge when you go out and do gigs, so you can assess how safe a venue is. I've worked over 5000 shows as a stage tech, and I can tell you that some venues are just a death-trap waiting to spring.Lol then it's probably better if I never get that certification. I'm all honesty my guitar rig is probably much worse than my grow setup.

Hmm. How much does it cost? I already am swamped in learning things lately but it has me curious. This is the type of shit they should teach in schools to get people ready for life lmao.

Yea I've heard that before. I have limited knowledge but I have changed out the tubes in my amps, and draining the caps always makes me nervous. Especially after a couple dabs. Lol

Agreed. I feel like I should know this already. Lol

Where did you go to get your certification?

I'm an IATSE union member, so they provided the training to me free of charge. This is the course I took: https://www.iatsetrainingtrust.org/calendar/2020/7/1/osha-10-ges
Many other private organizations provide similar training, and you get the same card from OSHA. Here's a website who has it on sale now for $79: https://www.oshaeducationcenter.com/osha-10-hour-training/
