Is that fuse burned out?

Tried to get a good pic of the fuse, but... Anyhow, it looks to be in good shape
It will look burt and the wire inside will be split if it's blown.

Finally managed to open it up. Fuse looks good
Just be careful whatever you do buddy! Be Safe.

Thanks, Dazed. I'll try not to fry myself! LOL! Seriously, though, I'm being careful and won't plug it in until it's put back together. Even then, I might not!

Hey, Brother GB 
If its working on the kitchen circuit, and others that aren't connected to the grow sockets, then the problem is either the circuit your grow is connected to (shunted neutral.. bad connection at the socket wiring.. breaker needs replaced) That circuit tester mentioned would test for those things. It could be a combination of the various electric devices is causing some sort of distortion or load on your light. I had that happen in my flower tent. Whenever I had my Thunder digital ballast plugged in (At 500w, reduced, no less...) with 3 other devices (fan, humidifier, pump) it'd throw the breaker. To end it, I just ran an extension cord from a socket on the next electric circuit, near the tent. It had to be some load on the circuit, in my case. The total electrical load on my circuit (A 20 amp breaker) was 14.6 amps...
Does that make any sense, or is this new Pandora really, really good?!

- anything I can get my hands on!
You know, the construction does not look bad at all. I did expect it to be a good bit worse.
Do you have any type of meter or a continuity tester for that fuse? Looks are not a reliable way to ascertain function.
Gonna look at the pictures some more...

Makes some sense, Wax! It's all new to me, though! I have no testing tools, but will run n grab something tomorrow after I'm done coaching
