I had a tripped 32 amp circuit breaker this morning and did the numbers on my draw ,,,,,, going through the Ablite figures they list Line start current and Line run current as well as Lamp start and Lamp run ,,,, are these added together ? to get your total draw , if so a 400 watt sodium would draw 7.30 amps at startup and 6.19 amps running ,,,,,, which means Im running 8 x 400 = 49 amps and 58 amps at startup ,, bit scary ! ,,, its been sailing along no problems on the 32 amp breaker untill this morning ,,,, just abit confused on how they work thier numbers concerning line and lamp .

Hey people im from Australia and have been told that u dont need a ballast for a 70W hps bulb. I have got a 100W Hps bulb that has 100W 240V-250V. When i got it, it came with a bulb holder and 3 wires coming from the bulb holder (i have got a socket for it). I havent tried anything yet as i dont want to blow the bulb by just plugging it in and turning it on to find that it blows the bulb. As Australia has 240V do i need a ballast for this or not ?

I'm trying to decide on a new 600 watt ballast. Either a Pulsar 2.0 which is magnetic. Or an electric lumatek. Does anyone prefer the newer electric/digital ones to the magnetics? Theres about a $55 dollar difference in getting the Lumatek. Should i go electric or magnetic??

Gday fellas - thinking of investing in a carbon filetr and fan and was after some input as what to size , brand and whats the noise factor with them anyway of fixing that up as that could be a issue /My room is 3 x 4 m with 3 x 600s and 2 x 400s that tends to get a bit hot on some days , all help appreciated Cheers

Hello. I read somewhere of someone using the same ballast to run two flowering rooms. Apparently one light is on and then it gets tripped after the 12 hours and it turns off and the other light turns on, in the other room. This would mean the ballast is always running and the lights wouldn't have to heat up and take so long to brighten up. So has anybody here done this? I would like to know how to do it, if it is easily done. Apparently you need a relay switch and a separate timer, or something along those lines. Or would it be better to get an electrician to do it? It obviously has many advantages, if it can be done easily. So if anyone has done it, can they ple…

just wondering, and did you have this light on 24/7?

This is supposed to cut the heat hitting the plants but not the light??? I really need to know everyones thoughts on this. I am complete lamer when it comes to this stuff... Thanx! http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...LDER:SIMPLEITEM

Hi people, Can anyone tell me if it possible to be prescribed marijuana in australia? I have been in several accidents where I have recieved multiple injuries. I suffer from chronic arthritus in my hips and chest and have problems with my back too. I smoke pot to relieve pain in conjunction with pain killers, but always worry about getting caught. I no it is used for cancer and have even heard of some trial but can anyone tell me if it is possible? I live in qld.

i have 3 of these , but 1 i have just noticed the screen has gone dead , i cant seem to find the pissy little instructions that came with the unit , i have just pulled it apart to see if there was a battery inside , but it seems to be soldered to the board . Has any one else had one of these units die on them while in storage , at a guess its probably 2 years old max , but only probably used for 6 months in that time , probably been stored for the last 6 months as a back up. Has any one successfully resurrected one of these ? i have just plugged it in hoping it might trickle charge the battery , to get the screen back up
