Your average receptacle circuit in a house is 15 amps. Some receptacle circuits may be 20 amps at the most. to figure out the load in (amps) you must divide the wattage by the voltage. 1400watts/ 120volts= 12 amps. However lights with ballasts actually draw more power then the bulb itself. The amount of (power loss) depends on the quality and size of the ballast itself. Usually the loss is minimal. Usually less then an amp. So, to answer your question. Yes you can use those lights on one receptacle as long as that's the only thing running on that circuit. Easy way to figure out what else is on that circuit is by shutting the breaker off that powers the receptacle you plan to plug your lights into. Check your whole house and see what else is on with it. If you have other receptacles on that circuit that arent being used then don't worry about it. Make sure you check all lights in the house as well. It's very common that lights and receptacles are sometimes on the same circuit. Good luck and Happy Growing!
