I don't totally understand u need a 12 volt fan? I don't know if that exist maybe a computer fan . But. If need a 120 volt fan Go to organicly grown on atwood ave in cranston. They got the stand up ones and the wall mountable ones. You could buy your regular every day ones from target but they won't last as long as the growroom designed versions. I read your post 120 volt is a normal output so any would work from anywhere.

If you do need to use cpu fans then they are only 12 volt. You can take an old cell phone or similar charger rated for near 12 volts and cut the end off and hardwire it to the cpu fan...that works.

it is pulling too much juice... unplug everything else and if it still pops, you're gonna need to plug it into something that has more capacity... check your fuse box to see how much power the outlet is rated to... good luck

I saw your box on your other post. On a box like that a cheap $12. 50cfm bath fan from home depot with a passive intake would be plenty to get rid of the heat. I used one on my first 400hps box without a problem. It would also solve your light leak problem on the exhaust and you could put an elbow type light trap on the intake.

browse thru the grow room set up area .It sounds like your testing everything in your room first thats good. Electricity is a bit of a pain I currently have double 15 minis on almost all my breakers mainly double 20's now lol. But yeah growing with the elctrical know hows tough and do it yourself is dangerous. Find a buddy whos a elctrician and swap out those breakers. Im not looking to see what your set up is but always gonna have to control heat and humidity , the problem with that is humidity control means dehumidifiers that make heat. Good luck
