My whole room went dead no electric .
I just got a thousand watt and had a 600 setup already. Had in for a couple months when I vacuuming couldn't have everything on or it would go dead and I'd have to reset the breaker . I have a solis tek thousand watt and it gets hot as fuck but I just started to notice it and can't find my proof of purchase so am stuck with it so am sure this had something to do with it. I am in illegal state . Help would be greatly appreciated. I tried to add things that might help hopefully I've explained it so someone can help . Thanks all that try!!

What are you asking? If your stuck with the ballast? If so, and you bought it online and dont have your proof of purchase my guessnis you'd have to call the company and see what they will do.

And is the reason you dont want it because it just runs hot? If its magnetic they all run hot even small ones.

Run a separate circuit from everything in the house straight to your lights. You have to much amp-age pulling on that breaker and that is why it trips(so you dont burn down your house) 20a breaker will probably work(I am no electrician) but i think a 30a breaker running the 1000w and 600w will suffice.

Interesting. I'm running a 600w MH and a 1k w hps on a 16amp breaker. Plus all the fans etc Which is fine. Your only talking roughly 10 amps all up.

My brewery when fully running is like 20amps. So had a different breaker installed.
