My old lady set the kitchen on fire. Smoke damage really bad. Landlady was cool about it. Said the place needed painting anyway. Almost at that moment a friend called and had concert tickets in Albuquerque for the Stray Cats and the Pretenders. Invited us for the weekend. Left just as painters were driving up. Great timing eh?
Got back the next week and here comes the landlady. Seems they were finished and had gone to lunch. They left a tarp piled up on the floor furnace. She was sorry but the smoke damage was even worse than the first time.

You're not overreacting. Shit melting on the unit is not acceptable. And no, you shouldnt need a cert in electronics to run a damn light.Because, exactly that! I'm not a freaking electrician! LOL. I have never had interest in that field. I want to trust a company that sell lights to make sure that their products are safe. And I'm not mad at spiderfarmer whatsoever, it's just a serious concern for ME personally. But I did mention yesterday that "maybe I might be overreacting"Wow I so high right now I just quoted myself. Anywhos, I'll just get in touch with Spiderfarmer and report back.
I worked EMS for many years and house fires are the worst. To this day, there are certain substances that trigger my senses from those horrid scenes and it makes me physically ill.
Regardless of what type of lights you run, every grow should be equipped with at least one auto fire extinguisher.
Even a couple of these would do.

Hopefully Spider will make this right.
IMO, customer services carries equal weight to providing a quality product.

This may sound like a dumb question, But wheres the best local source to Buy New fire extinguishers?? (Serious question)? And Don't Say Walmart!!

Maybe you could save your money and buy a new light that won't burn down your house? Any word back from @Spiderfarmerled ?
Probably sent out a refurb light as a prize.

Ya I know about that they need to be up to date with its charge. I don't see them readily available for sale at the local hardware stores. So, that's kinda the base of my question.

I just emailed my local Fire Dept. I'm sure they'll steer me the right direction.

I thought houses were supposed to have one in the kitchen by law before you could move in. But that could be a Cali thing I’m not sure. And the fire dept should have a non emergency phone line. And they might even hook you up. IdkI just emailed my local Fire Dept. I'm sure they'll steer me the right direction.

Wow I've literally never heard of anything like that before. I live in Washington. It not like California. WA, is more of a fend for yourself kinda state. We don't usually allow the county officials to say what's Mandated in our homes or kitchens.

I think I had to have a fire extinguisher and as well had to provide proof of power That’s renting. Maybe owning is different

I contacted Spiderfarmer customer service yesterday. I sent them a pleasant description of the problem and how I've been running it. So maybe next week they'll get back to me about a solution to the problem! I hope, that is

I keep a smoke/carbon detector and fire extinguisher around all my tents/grow areas. Nothing is worth your life. If you have the slightest suspension in anything in your grow eliminate it immediately.

I run four sf1000s and one sf4000. Now I’m gonna check. I did notice my 1000s came with wires damn near falling out of driver tho. Other than that mine been great besides maybe my house not giving them the power they need I suspect. Since I been running all lights my wax melters won’t melt all the way anymore. That’s what I get for renting a old ass house I guess.

I'd definitely keep an eye on them 5 lights ya got. It seems like their lights are totally hit/miss amongst their Quality Control department. JM2C.
