A power outage shouldn't hurt a proper ballast/hid set up using surge protector and other such outlets. Autos should get at least 18 hours of light a day. If the power is going off more than every couple hours I'd shut down. Also be careful as some ballasts won't wait the 15-25 min they say you should wait to turn the light back on after turning it off.

Make the switch to LED like me and you don't have to worry about any of that :P
