Switch a Bank of Grow Lights Safely From One UnitThe Loadstar Timer Contactor is a heavy-duty lighting controller that switches multiple grow lights on and off together, cleanly and reliably. HID lighting draws a high inductive surge at start-up that will quickly burn out a standard plug-in timer - the Loadstar diverts that load through a robust contactor, protecting your timer and keeping your light cycle rock solid. Choose the way-count to match how many lamps you are running.Key Benefits Protects your timer by diverting the high ignition load to a heavy-duty contactor Runs multiple lights together, up to 8 switched sockets from one unit Built-in segmental timer for precise on/off photoperiod control Heavy-duty build with premium components in a robust metal housing and wall-mounting hooks Tidier, safer grow room with less cabling across the floor Why HID Lighting Needs a ContactorEvery HID ballast needs a contactor to handle the surge that ignites the lamp. Plug ballasts straight into a domestic timer and it will eventually fail - often sticking the lights on and risking heat stress and crop damage. The Loadstar absorbs that load so your grow lights switch cleanly every cycle and your timer lasts.How to Use Plug the contactor into the wall using its heavy-duty power cable Plug your timer into the contactor's timer socket Connect your ballasts to the switched sockets, up to the unit's way-count Set your timer to your light-on hours - every connected light switches together Technical Specifications Type: heavy-duty contactor with built-in segmental timer 2 Way: up to 2 lights - handles 2 x 1000W 4 Way: up to 4 x 600W lights 6 Way: up to 6 x 600W lights 8 Way: up to 8 x 600W lights Housing: robust metal with wall-mounting hooks Compatibility: HID (HPS/MH) ballasts and other switched grow-room loads
