If you've ever stripped a pc power cord you'd know the copper is extremely puny.. I only use those for 2-3 amps max.. If scaling this up I'd get heftier cord..
Also, grab a phone book and call up electrical/lighting outfitters like Westburne etc.. I used to get everything for 400W kits from them for about $55cdn

So just wondering what the amperage rating on this would be? Sounds to be about perfect for my up and coming mother room.

At 120V a 100W HPS will draw about 2A or more during startup, then drop down to a constant draw of about 1A from the mains..
On a 240V line, those numbers get cut in half..
