I just want to say thank you for looking and helping if you can. These forums are awesome.

Now here is my problem.. I currently have 1 400MH running on 220v on a 14/3 15amp.

I found what I think is a great deal for some 250w HPS lights $15 bucks each ! 250's push something like 25-30k lumens which is awesome for $15 bucks. Sure beats cfls..


I was thinking I would have to wire in a sub panel (thinking 30amp w/ 10/3)... I kind of want to do this so then I could have a dedicated 110v receptical for fans and shit like that.

How would I go about wiring up multiple 220v lights to a single breaker?

I need to purchase a 220v timer, but I can't seem to find one anywhere... something I can wire in.. and would I want to use a relay with 1400w's of lights?

I was reading but couldn't find exactly what i was looking for I want to say I need something like a junction box or something?

I basically want to make like 5-6 220v recepicatals on a single breaker/timer cicurit.

Any help is greatly appecicated.

thank you.:bigjoint:

220 kills but...

you just buy outlets and a box for each receptical and daisy chain them

If I'm understanding what you are wanting to do.
