Choosing grow lights

[Leafmite]

One of our friends is a firefighter and they put out a fire from someone growing orchids in a cabinet with lights. The lights had started the fire. He told us because he knows I grow plants under lights. Poorly made electrical gadgets of any type can cause a short but lights are on for long periods of time, often when we are not at home (on timers) so it is important to buy decent quality lights.

I also have mine plugged into a power strip with an internal circuit breaker that should trip if there is a short. This was recommended to me. I have no idea how much better that is, though.
