Worrying about watts,volts,amps grow lights

Hi.Do you have to worry about watts,volts,amps when you get a grow light?I hope not.

what do you mean when you say worry?

Do you HAVE to? Ummm, no. What would be the point? Get the lights, plug 'em in.

I think that's what rfb meant....
The circuit and breaker that feeds your grow area will need to be large enough to handle all that you plug in there. Fans, lights, humidifier/dehumidifier, air filter, water pumps, air conditioning. Total the amps used of all the equipment (found on the electric information tags on each item). Don't forget to add in any computers, tv, ceiling fan, or anything else powered by that circuit. Make sure the total does not exceed the number stamped on the breaker at your fuse panel for that room or that set of outlets. Typically you'd have to be installing some really big lights to overload your circuit.
If you use higher wattages you'll have more heat and will need to adjust accordingly....move plants farther from light, provide adequate ventilation and climate control.
