If you are operating on a standard 120 volt system, 1875 watts will draw 15.625 amps. A standard fuse or circuit breaker is 15 amps. You are drawing more current than the wiring was designed to provide. The breaker or fuse stops that before you burn down the house. You need a smaller dryer, or bigger wiring.

Your hairdryer may be drawing too much power for the circuit, causing it to overload and trip the circuit breaker. Consider using the hairdryer on a different circuit or using a lower wattage hairdryer to prevent the lights from blowing out.
