    Are they wired for 120V or 220V? Either way, they shouldn't be pulling too many amps on a 20 amp breaker. Did you have any problem kicking the breaker before you added the 400 watt light?

    compressor shutting off

    This may be a dumb question, but isn't your air compressor in the equipment room? If it is, I don't see what the temp outside would have anything to do with it. If your equipment room is that cold, your going to have more problems than just an air compressor that keeps shutting off.
