    Using 12v/220v Pure Sinus Wave 1000W Inverter

    Hello.

    I'm a first time indoor grower. I use Horti Dim Light 600W balast, with 600W SUNMASTER dual spectrum HPS lightbulb. Can I hook up my balast to 12v/220v Pure Sinus Wave 1000W Inverter to save electricity? Anyone had such experience?

      I was thinking of connecting it to 12V power adapter and then to 220V wall socket.

    Is there an amazon or company listing of your inverter?

      I was considering a battery/inverter setup in my shop should electricity go out, which it seems to do about 2-3 times a year. One year it was out for 3 days. This is a good article explaining how it works and the consumption of electricity.
      Answer (1 of 17): Sometimes it raises sometimes it lowers. Most inverters that you use in a home, they are supplied by a battery. Now the question is ‘how do you charge this battery’. If you charge the battery from the utility grid. Then the answer is ‘yes it raises the electric bill’. The reas...

      Tnx....so basically it's no use. It was my friend idea, he's got an inverter that he uses in the camping van. So we thought maybe if he can run all of his appliances off a 12V battery, that maybe I could use a 12V power adapter to hook up my light. I know nothing about electricity. Tnx for the link.

      Yeah, that idea is a wash. The only way to get “free or cheaper” energy is to harness nature, think sun, wind or water. I’ve seen small water generators placed in running creeks and washing machine mechanisms converted to windmill generators for off grid use. With LEDs low watt pull that would be a better fit for that type setup.
