I aint no genius when it comes to electrics and all that but if I had a computer server running 24/7 on a 500w Power supply unit and turned that off and started running a 400w HPS 24/7 would my electrics stay pretty much the same? or is there something im missing?.

Hey quick question, Im about sure I kno the answer already BUT.
Isn't say a HPS more efficient at 240V than 120V since it uses less amps¿

Thanks Much!

Im stoned fellers!

Thanks for the reply.
1 amp @240v=2amp @120v exactly the same amount of power. that's what you buy 6a@240v would cost1/3 more to run then 9a@120v jack

LOL, sup CJ
man I'm finally rolling on HPS!!!
What's sad is with 2x 1Kw HPS I'm using ALOT less power than before with all those CFLs I was using.

went from needing 35+amps service to 10 with the HPS total and another 10 with the CFLs Im using in veg, but Im about to add 2 more racks so Ill b up to 30 again BUT with 3 times as many plants.

I’m not sure about how possible some of the things you mention would be, but there is one setting that may interest you, if you haven’t seen it already
