Ok, are you trying to say that the breaker trips for your room every time you turn the 400 on?

Have you used the 400 before?

Is there any other large piece of equipment you have running near your room? (vacuum cleaner, a/c unit, big screen TV, etc?)

As the simplest possible solution try another outlet. that one could be faulty and tripping the breaker. Also, with what the guy above me said, you may have other large things on that breaker you don't know about (heater, hot water, stove, fridge, etc). Are the bulb and cords securely in place?

Try a different room? you could leave the setup where its at, just get a heavy duty extension cord and see if that dont help you out. do you have a surge protector by chance? that would let you plug it in w/o the whole breaker going down when your testing the outlets.

If the light doesnt work in another outlet and it is not tripping your breaker
then it may be your light burning out if it is a old light
