Okay I thought I was trough but I'm not.
What I have is a frame that I can hank from the ceiling.
With said frame I have pulleys I can lower and raise the frame from both ends.
It is about 4 feet long and 2 feet wide.
My Timer can handle 15 amps.
I dont think I have anything running off the outlet I plan on plugging into if there is it isn't much.
I want to run multiple lights so if one goes out the others will still work until I can replace it.
And so each section of plants will be closer to a light.
In the end there will be close to 100 plants maybe more sitting on a 4 foot long by 30 inch wide table
Here is my dilemma.
I have several ideas on CFL lights and need to know what would be best and or overkill.
Lets look at I think might be overkill if there is such a thing.
First option.
Run a row of 150 watt lights down both sides of the frame three on each side pointing outwards a little and can be swiveled if I want.
Run another row of three 150 watt lights down the middle pointing straight down.
9 lights all together.
Each light draws 40 watts with a total of 360 watts and a currant draw of about 3 amps.
Each light puts out 2800 lumens and the temperature is 6500K
Lumens add up so this would be a total of 25200 lumens if I am not mistaking.
Will this be enough light or is it over kill and can I go lower and still get good results?
Or will it work at all?
I do want to run the 9 light setup though.
