GFI Tripping

Sup all, I have a slight problem. I had a 20 amp outlet installed in my room, dedicated circuit/outlet. Since the room is located inside a bathroom, the electrician put a GFI outlet in. I am running about half load 900/10 watts/amps total, lights/pumps/fans. It has been running like this for the duration of this round, only a week and 3 days to go now, and its started tripping off at about 5 hours into the light cycle. I cannot find anything hot or even mildly warm, no moisture anywhere. My ballast is a quantum 600 watt dimmable, and just recently after the last trip, I decided to switch it down to 75%/450 watts, and see if the gfi would trip again, so far it hasn't. Could this mean my 600 watt hps bulb is going out on me, or the ballast? Any help greatly appreciated..

the gfi is more than likely bad, it happens.

i agree i think the gfi is bad go plug a hair dryer in it maybe and see if it trips i would just shut off breaker and replace gfi

Do you have another bathroom or kitchen GFI outlet? If so, shut off the breaker and swap them to see if the problem stays or not.
