What would u guys recommend gonna get a powerbox Dpc 4000 and it has built in timer with 4 240v outlets. If I wanted to run 12/12 flip flop I'd have to also buy a flip box. Which would be better run 4000 watts 12/12 or two separate 2000 watt tents 12/12 on at different times. Main concern is 4000 watts on all at once with 1200 watts of veg might be red flag

If you run two boxes running flipping between the two it wouldn't give that huge spike in electricity when the lights go on and off, but would just stay steady throughout the day.

I would think that would look less suspicious since those smart meters can see the exact light scedule on 12:12 as opposed to just one steady usage. You have walk in freezers for ice sculptures, those things suck a lot of energy (or similar excuse). Proove otherwise :bigjoint:

stage them . its more easy to cool . but 4000 watts is 4000 watts. so you have a lot of computers running or a high powered welder or you work out of the garage . nobody cares just pay the bill

BE DAMN sure the ballasts are set UP for flip box's!!!! (If digital)

MOST are NOT!

Call and ASK the flipbox maker for the ones that do work with his box's!!!
