i have no heat issues or draw problems my whole room is on a 15 amp breaker i think im only using 6 amps with all my lights ant the timer and fan. common sense can help here too if your extension cord is warm your pushing the limit! i make sure that thr romex running to the breaker box stays cool too, nothing even warms up in my basement!

I dont know if someone has already asked this but i couldnt find it in here. I ran a new line from my box to my grow room and come to find out it is 240. I would like to split this down to two lines of 120. If anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated!!! I need to fire up my new light like NOW! Just a lil more info.. it is on a dual 40 breaker. Thanks again

You can put a transformer in-line to give you 2x120v feeds i think you can buy a box that will make the split easy! I think a few pages back there is a full description of how this works!
