Good morning everyone!!! :smokeout:

You can always boogie to keep warm!

 
morning everyone so I’ve been having some light issues. I am curious what size wire everyone is running there lighting circuits with?

I have 600w light on it’s own 15amp circuit wired with 12/2 romex. I have only had the light 6-8 months and finally figuring out where I want to run it. So I wanted to run 100% 20/4 but now since I turned it 100% when light try’s to fire up after lights out. It flashes on bright for a second and goes dim. It does this when timer is in circuit and when not but only after lights have been out for awhile. Once I dim light down it will turn on and then I can ramp up to 100% For that day but the next day it does it again unless it’s below 75%ish

So long story short bought this from a friends friend who runs a “growshop”. Which I think is BS. But anyways they are no help and telling me I should be running 10ga. Wire. Seems like a little much for just one light. Mind you I also have another dedicated 15 amp circuit for the other tent. And that ciruit is running 2 100w lights 4&6” exhaust systems plus oscillating fans for both tents With no problems

The 600 w light does it on both circuits and everything else for the two tents runs fine on either circuit.
I have a electrician coming over this weekend to check my work but pretty confident I wired the circuits correct. I have done electrical work in the past ac&dc.
Now that I got this done I think probably should have started a new thread but not sure where

Cave Dirt Cody is an electrician. He usually chimes in frequently. That should be enough to power that light though
