hey could i have my 6" Classic EcoPlus fan and my 400w hps on a power strip that's plug into a extension cord? Not sure if thats too much power from one regular wall plug. and not familiar with any electrical.
i would ONLY use the heavy duty yellow (10 or 12gauge )extension. rule of thumb ANYTHING that makes heat will draw healthy amounts of electicity.make sure you are running a 20amp breaker if you use alot more that what you are already using.and also make sure your power outlet can handle it .if your power strip has a big fat cord thats the one you want if it is skinny that is no good. another way you can tell is by feeling the temp of any wire in the system you have setup . if it feels warm or hot that is bad.hope this helpsthe fan is 1.1 amps, i have a 400w hps lumatek.
