Keep in mind that when an hid light starts up especially with a magnetic ballast it will likely draw more amperage than it states on the faceplate. That might explain why it pops when its lights on

i use 8u cfls and t5s space is too small for hid imo

You're 100% misinformed bro. Those sentinals are extension cords with a remote relay trigger. While they do serve a purpose, they're not really the best or most practical solution for this guy. Get a heavy extension cord and move one heater to another circuit. That's all you're doing with the sentinal anyway. The heaters should have their own thermostats so they don't need the remote relay. You can fit any more devices on one circuit with your magic box. It's simple math.

WELL THEN! I guess I dont know how to run my equipment or what they are even used for. Maybe I shouldnt use those PXM-1 POWER EXPANDERS since its just a 100 dollar extension cord with a relay switch. WHAAAAAHAAAAAHAAAAA. I cant believe I spent 200 bucks on 2 extension cords! listen: It turns 1 curcuit into 2. It turns a 6 amp curcuit into a 12 amp curcuit! I can double my amp load without popping the breaker on my EVC-2 enviro computer or my house breakers.

Power Expansion Modules increase the number or size of lights, fans, a/c's, and pumps in your growing area that can be automated.

you can use 80-85% of your breaker and thats it before its a overload.... the maxload for a 15amp breaker would be 1530 watts so if you have more than that on a 15amp breaker, its overloaded! It would be smart to use 2 different breakers for your room... its easy to do it right the first time if you do the math correctly before you even touch your breakers. volts x amps= watts so your normal 120v outlet x 15 amps is 1800 MAX WATTAGE.. Pretty much like i said, if you go over 1530watts per 15amp breaker, you could see problems.
