Yeah that fire shit got me parinoid I got surge protecters and I have cords in the laundry room and another room so it wouldnt use one circut is that ok guys?
sounds like you have the right idea. the more you can spread out the better.
when i first fired up a 1000 watt in a bedroom, after a few weeks, i felt the panel where it was plugged in and it was hot to the touch. that freaked me out so i ran a long heavy duty cord to the laundry room and i used the outlet for my washing machine. my gf was always bitching because she couldn't do laundry during daytime.
something scary happened and i didn't even know it. my first HID was a freaky little thing with one 400 watt MH and one 400 watt HPS in the same unit. after i switched to the 1000 watt, i started using the MH side of this unit for vegging. one day i noticed that the HPS side of the unit had damage like it melted. i have no idea when this happened or how but i ditched that thing muy pronto! fuck! IT MELTED! FUCK! how did i not know this?? i really need to pay better attention to things! lol
