How do I 'ground' a tent?

[Mars_Barz]

I'm running a Mars Hydro in a 2x4 area and the light specifically says to not touch it while it's in operation. I try not to.

I'm still in veg and I've cranked my lamp up all the way that it can be cranked, I still have another 2feet of vertical space that I intend to use, so therefore I'm going to have to outfit the tent with some sort of new rig system. My concern is that the tent poles themselves will be in direct contact with the lamp. Am I at risk of potential shock or electrocution? If so, how do I safeguard against this?

There shouldn’t be any risk of electrocution lol

I don't doubt there's some disclaimer in the manual, but there's no light (or any electrical appliance) sold where the exterior would be live and a cause for concern.

In all likelihood the warning is to prevent potential burns.

Touching LEDs can add contaminates to the diode that can impact its life expectancy.

You're far and away more likely to have an electrical fire than some sort of electrocution mishap. Don't worry about electrocution if you're not dicking with opening up the driver or messing with wires.

Definently get an extra fire extinguisher and smoke alarm though. Every grower should.

100%. Extra fire alarms in and or around your grow area.

And HID bulbs!
