Dont worry about how much power you use...just pay for it.

If the cops are looking at your power consumption...which they need a warrant for...you've already fuct up.

Something you could do to mask the 12/12 pattern is run 2 rooms on a flip. 6 lights in each room. Your constantly using 6kw/h 24 hours a day.
have you tested this amount out your way? i was up to 4 in each room in a townhome

I built a 12kw room in a 3 bed bungalow for a patient not to far from me...they haven't heard a peep from the utility.

I'm confident you could max out your panel before raising any eyebrows.

Got to love those bungalow floor plans lol Yeah i was told the same thing. Max out 80% of the panel only due to security reasons. Apparently the thing that gets people in shit is blowing the transformer.

Hydro could give a rats ass about how much you use...as long as you pay! :)
that's not entirely true.....they can now see you lights coming on and off and plot your 12/12 cycle....via smart meter tracking...
that's why you now would need two rooms, to flower,so the power never drops...but rather just flips via syncro timers

The 400 million waste ..?? Are ya referring to those funny meters?
I'm an electrician by trade :)
So they can see you are using power. Awesome.
The meters are there to SUPPOSEDLY save you money(which they DONT).. to keep track of your usage at different times of day@ different rates, not for the police. :)
That kind of info is givin out when asked. Only during a police investigation, if there is one?!.
Hydro sure doesn't go out of their way to tell the RCMP when someone is making them money
Just sayin.

So just don't get investigated and you're fine. Right?
