Thanks for the tip! I will have to keep my eye out for that. I have gone with enough GFI outlets that each MH should have its own - not sure if that'll help or not. If they still trip, I can swap the GFI outlets for standard outlets as the lights are on their own circuit and the circuit itself is not GFI.
I never once thought of that, but it makes sense. I hope it's OK as is, but if not, at least I am now aware of it, so thanks!
