will my circut blow with this many lights?

[killadelph420]

How many lights per say can i run off one house outlet. so far i have my computer and internet set up on the same one as my grow. Im going to with a ful cfl and floro lights untill i flower. so far i have 5 cfls and 3 48 inch floro balists. Am i still safe or should i be expecting a short. Keep note the bigger my plants get i will probly be adding a few more.

it depends if you are on a different breaker than the rest of the house, my fuse will blow if i use like 2200 watts, fairly easy to do with a 1500 watt space heater.

just test it out though, blow the fuse and flip.

an outlet allows up to 32 amps of current , 250 watts is 1 amp,so 32 amps is 8000 watts.
so as long as your appliances & lights,computer etc do not exceed 8000 watts you'll be cool

but you have to take into consideration what the rest of the outlets on the circuit are using.

add up all the wattages of everything your using then make sure it doesnt exceed the amount shown

great having a son whos an electrician

Yup you are safe, a good way to think about it is every 100w = 1 amp of draw, normal house recepticals run off 15 amp breakers some 20. So look on the back of your computer see how many amps it draws, I cant imagine it being more the 2-3 amps. Add up the total amount of wattage you have and divide by 100 take taht total add it to the power that your computer draws and you can tell how many amps you have a rough total. Don't for get to include any fans you might have plugged in too. A good way to find out if you have 2 recepticals on the same circut is to go to the breaker panel in your house and switch them off one by one checking each time to see it whatever you have plugged in is off.
