Thats not very stupid at all. If your power were to go out for a prolonged period of time, it would be very detrimental to your grow. Your plants would possibly hermie up on you and then youd be left with a finish product filled with seeds. This happened to a friend of mine because 1000Ws tend to fry digital timers. His final product was a beautifully dank crop that had around 60g of seeds per pound.

Putting the plants in sunlight or ambient light wouldnt fix do much for the plants, but it'd be a helluva lot better than leaving them in an unscheduled dark period.

(you might wanna learn a little more about plants and growing before you damn peoples advice.)

Perhaps reading the quote more closely would have been more appropriate prior to posting?

sure, the guys sentence structure was off, but a little common sense can tell you that he meant that if the power went out in your growroom to put the lights under other lights in your house.

RIU: home of the grammar police?

If your power goes out in your grow room does it not make sense that it is probably out in your entire house?
Hence the humor in "turn any light on on your room".

sometimes the breaker for my grow room pops over and the lights will shut off in there but the rest of the house is just fine...if you were to just fry that one breaker (maybe from duct taping it over so it cant "pop" over if it needs to) it wouldnt kill power to the whole house...meh, who knows though, maybe the wiring at my house is different than others, every room has its own independant breaker.
