I am trying to design my new grow room. I would like to go with 2 1000 watt lights in my flower room. Will i have problems if i run them on the same 30 amp circut. I see people running multiple 1000s and was wondering what they did for electrical. I guess my main question would be how many amps do 1000 watt lights draw?

yes as long as you dont go over the amp rating of the outlet and if you have other things plugged in to the same circuit from your breaker then you will need to add the amp ratings up to whats plugged in

You should flip that breaker and see what is on it, so you can be sure that you have nothing else on the circuit.

Something does sound right about this, usually you will find 14 gauge (typically white Romex wire) wire put on a 15 amp breaker, and 12 gauge (typically orange Romex wire) on a 20 amp breaker, and if you see a 30 amp breaker, it is typically two 15's linked together to get you 30 amps ay 240 volts, for your A/C, electric dryer, electric range, etc.
