I'm about to set up an LED light outdoors.
The Dominator 1200, something like that.
The power cord has a ground. I spent about $80 on copper wire, for 2x 200 foot runs of electrical wire, outdoors.
In the past I have Kluged together much longer extension cords (130+ yards), so that I could use power tools outdoors. It all worked, probably had some significant resistance power loss.
This is the first time I've done that with an LED grow-light.
Have any ICMag members ever been burned by ignorring ground on a small LED grow-light set-up ?
The first extension cord I'm making will support 1x 200 watt light, and maybe some additional 10 watt lights.
I've ignorred Ground on extension cord set-ups for about 30 years with no visible ill effects.
But since this is my first LED, I thought I would ask.
