And is this a problem if you stagger your lights? I have all my lights turn on a couple mintues after the last except for this board in question which has 2 lights at the same time, and its not tripping when i turn it on it trips the surge protector after a few hrs being on

Thats what i have been doin pretty much im also suspecting it just needs an individual timer per light because i had a cheap bunnings timer on there first and it was tripping then switched to a better timer and it lasted longer before tripping and ive got 2 lights on another board that are on individual timers and a fan hooked up to that board to and its never tripped in the past few years

Startup and after the lights heated up. As heat rises so does resistance

Exactly this.
Yep. Has it’s own proper rcd that'll trip before your house one. The ones in the power board is just for surge protection and dodgy/not to be really trusted anyway.

Yeah I’ve seen first hand those trips on the board fail and stick on, they’re only a basic (and I mean basic) surge protector that doesn’t even always protect from surge. Also seen more than a few boards start to burn from over loading. Not saying it will happen but could and if your growing somewhere that your living than relying on a cheap board to power multiple lights isn’t safe.

I’ve had zero issues with pinegrow, even had less gnat issues since switching to it. Mites can come from multiple sources including clothing and it’s likely you pick a few up at Bunnings if you where near any plants.
