Using two HPS 600W lamp. Sometimes gets short interruption of electricity and they turn off. My question is what will happen if I'm not around and don't turn them off? Is it possible to ignite and what fuse should I use in this case?
Thanks!

a digital ballast should be fine IF its plugged into a surge protector. I know nothing about magnetic ballasts though. hope this helps

No worries, They will start right back up unless a circuit breaker popped.

I'd be careful with an electrical short. Do yo u really want to have your house burn down and possibly kill pets or family members inside over some marijuana plants? Make sure you are using a surge protector or it could blow out your lights or a tiny spark can ignite your carpet and if your not there, you'll come back to a burnt down house. Don't overdue it, use one lamp if it can't handle two. Be safe not stupid
