i Currently have a 1000w ballast and light was wondering if i can hook up the ballast connected to a power board with fans running off the same power point? is this safe i have no idea guys im a noobie
I'd say its safe...as long as your power strip can handle the total wattage/ampage + 25%.
SO if you have that 1000watts, then another 200watts in fans...youd need at least a 1500-1800 watt board. And as for ampage..im not sure, im no electrician.
Your best bet is to plug it into the wall socket, unless youve got a heavy-duty power strip capable of such wattage/ampage.
Might want to check other threads here. Theres lots of electrical question threads.
