Eco Technics Light Switching Timer Contactors

Essential when using timers

A major problem with hydroponic lighting is timer failure. Household timers bought from hardware stores are simply not designed to handle the (inductive) power loads of hydroponic lighting.

The solution is to buy a contactor. You still need a 24-hour mechanical (household) timer however the power goes through the contactor and not your timer.

The role of the timer in this is to turn your contactor on and off which then turns your lights on and off. Simple.

There is no wiring to do with any of our contactors - you just 'plug 'n' grow'. Each Contactor will handle up to 3 x 600w lights, 4 x 400w lights or 1 x 1,000w light depending whether it is a Two or Four Light Timer Contactor.
