alright, good news..

went to the shop,

took it apart,

smell here... nada

smell here... nada

smell here-transformers-- burning smell... supposedly the transformers are going bad.....

Im gonna hook up the 1000 watter tonight and see if there is any smells after doing that, if there is then I definately know that we have a far more serious issue on our hands....

I want to thank everyone for being concerned about the situation, I really do appreciate that...

Im gonna take pics tonight of what the room looks like as of now and what it looks like after re-doing everything.... crazy, how a room can be converted in like 10 minutes..... lol

yes but your powersupply cord or ballast cord can go bad also you need to feel these cords regularly to make sure they are not over heating

If a light fitting is'nt 'fitted' correctly it can give off a very odd smell and slight burning. CHECK ALL YOUR LIGHT FITTINGS ONE BY ONE. im not saying u have cheap lights, but cheap fittings are usualy the cause. (electrician/plumber)

Alrighty, took the ballast in...... the threw it out....

I WAS bad!! Im so happy right now but the smell from 2 days ago still has me worried, Im hoping that its just the smell from the ballst caked to the walls and shit, considering it was burni9ng like that for a whole 12 hrs ya know?? well I hope I do...

But yeah, heres a couple of pics of the new G13 babies that Ive been so worried about.... havent had the time to move the big lights back in yet but here they go...........

Good to hear you think you got it figured out. Fire is my greatest source of paranoia. I'd rather go to jail or myself get hurt than possibly burn up my wife and dogs in their sleep. I keep ever vigilante with my electrical endeavors.
