Not enough amps? or HPS bulbs bad? New set up Electrician help would be NICE :)

Temps haven't gotten high enough to use the ac, but it will once i pop on all 4 lights. I have maybe another two weeks until i start using the ac. So i might just lag on the 20amp 120v outlet for another week or so.

Well if you're going to run a 20 amp dedicated receptacle, be sure to use 12-2 wire and a NEMA 5-20R receptacle rated for 20 amps.

Ya...looks like that's the only way to do it. Separate 110v. The box is just for 220v lights.
Good luck...

I'm an electrician of 4yrs (still a young buck) out in Florida I enjoyed reading this thread. @Renfro knows his shit and nice setup you got there! Those guts look awesome! Is that your lighting controllers?

125 amp subpanel, the lighting and AC flip. I have a veg room and two flowering rooms running off that, pulling about 85-90 amps per leg when veg room is running and everything is cranking. I balanced the 120v loads really good as there is usually less than a 5 amp difference between legs.
