would it be safe running 2 1000watters plus other misc and window mount ac in the same room....the circuit breaker says 20 for the room that the op is gettin set up in..

setup will be sog on 2 seperate tables 9' x 3.5' ....6 trays of 12 (72 per side, 144 total op) is 1000w over kill or would 600's be fine plus more power friendly... all in all once everything is said an done i want 4 total light hoods 2 per side.

i would advise using a surge protector just incase, 2 1000watts + a/c is alot of juice. for sea of green, you might be okay with the 600watters since there wont be much leaf to penetrate.

You will definitely trip the breaker if you try to run all of that on one 20 amp breaker. Instead of taking the time to run another line for 220 in the room i would just run another ckt into the room either from the box if it is convenient or might be easier to run a heavy duty extension cord from an adjacent room and that should give you plenty of juice.

you shouldn't draw more than 80% of the amperage rating on a circuit (75% is better). So at most, you shouldn't plug in more than 16 amps worth of appliances. Since 1000w lights can reach into the 8-9 rage, a 20 amp circuit would be fine for two 1000w lights - but nothing else (or at least not an AC - maybe a fan or two would be OK).
