HID lighting produces a strong electrical start up load that standard household timers cannot safely manage. Without a proper contactor, domestic timers can fail under the surge needed to ignite HID lamps which may lead to overheating or lights getting stuck on or off. A contactor timer is the correct and safe method for controlling HID lighting cycles. The Black Box Contactor and Timer range is built to strict CE standards using premium components including Grasslin timers and GE contactors. The contactor transfers the electrical load away from the timer, ensuring safe and reliable switching every time. Built for long service life, these units offer dependable performance with an extended 2 year guarantee for peace of mind.
