Well, not the whole thing, just one switch. Here's the story:
I have a 600W lamp, and about once a day the circuit breaker switches off the power upstairs because apparently 600W is a "dangerous" amount of power? I don't know, I know absolutely nothing about electricity whatsoever. I just know that there's a way I can safely run any wattage bulb I want to, I just need to know how to do it. Do I need to re-wire my outlet or something so it can handle more amps/watts? Or is my circuit breaker just being unnecessarily protective? For you electrical savvy people out there, any advice is appreciated since I don't want to stress my plants out by the light randomly going out during lights-on period.
