Can i pick one up at a hardware store?
Any help is needed asap.

DigitalGreenhouse 1000 watt replacement fuses?

Are you talking about the internal "in-line fuse"?That should be replaced with a fuse of the same rating about 3A I believe.If you are talking about the HID circuit fused rating you can put 1 1K fixture on a 14 wire 15A overcurrent device(fuse or breaker)so long as nothing else is on the circuit.

yes i need the in-line fuse
thank you

the fuse is rated at 15A.
F15A250v
is this right?
because i'm having a hard time finding a 15 amp fuse this small. The highest i've found them is 7.
Is it maybe a 5A?

That's what it looks like to me...it's a fast acting 15a/250v rated fuse. If you get a pic of it (with something to show scale) I'll see what I can find...but it shouldn't be hard to find that inline fuse at most electrical supply shops.

I went to radioshack and lowes with no luck.
Tom. i'll check out a couple places downtown.

If you are unsure,get a magnifying glass if you replace a 5A with a 15A your gonna fry your internal wiring.Go to an auto parts store if you're having trouble finding it.
lol...I should have clarified my definition of "scale" 
How long and how wide is that fuse? Most autoparts places should have it if it's the same size (physically) as a stereo's inline fuse...you might need to hit an electrical supply if it's an oddball size tho.

Thank you guys for helping me out!

I'm confused...
from the beginning:
I have 2 15 amp circuits i use for each 1000 watter (one is digital the other is coil). A couple nights ago i started the lights on the same circuit, woops...
I popped the internal fuse in my digital ballast and tripped the breaker.
So today i find the internal fuse needed to replace the bad one. I stick it in and connect the digital ballast to its own circuit. POP GOES THE FUSE AGAIN. Luckily i bought 2.
I completly map out my circuits turn absolutly everything off and try again. The breaker tripps?
I connect my regular 1000 watt coil ballast to the 'digital ballast' circuit and it works fine?
I try connecting my digital ballast to the 'coil ballast' circuit and it tripps?
I try conncting my digital ballast to a larger 40amp circuit and there goes my second fuse.
I assume there must be something wrong with my digital ballast since i can run my coil ballast with no probs.
What might it be?

Bad ballast...return it for another.

I didn't fuck it up when i overloaded the circuit with both ballasts?
Could it because the fuse i replaced it with was a 125 volt instead of 250 volt?
I run 110.

Everyones help so far is appreciated to the fullest!!
I checked half a dozen auto supply stores (along with over 10 electrical supply stores) for a fast acting 15 amp 250 volt tubular plug (gma) fuse with zero luck. I checked out the internet without any real help. I don't know how to contact digital greenhouse directly because i purchased the ballast from ebay.
Does anyone know if digital greenhouse has a website?
Or where i can purchase the fuse i need off the internet?
thank you all again
