Ecotechnics Powerstar Contactor/Timer 8 Way (6kW)
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 PowerStar controller. You still need a 24-hour mechanical (household) timer however the power goes through the controllerand not your timer. The role of the timer in this is to turn your controller on and off which then turns your lights on and off. There is no wiring to do with any of our contactors - you just plug and grow.
Specifically designed for horticultural use, these high powered ultra-reliable PowerStar Controllers include a timer, and are great for any light combination up to 6kW. Controllers are relays for your ballasts, ensuring they don't burn out your timers (dangerous if you or the plants get burnt!). Complete with an 8-way 3-pin plug outlet for the ballast to be connected to, simply connect the feed cable to the mains (hard wired by a qualified electrician) and you are ready to go.

Plug & Grow Heavy Duty Timer
No longer is it necessary to buy expensive timers and separate contactors. This Timer is designed specifically with the grower in mind. It has built in 22amp switching with the ability to safely handle up to: 6 x 200w CFL Lamps or 1 x 600w HPS Mechanical Ballast
Specification: Rating: Heavy Duty 22amp Switching Voltage: 240v CE Rating: 13amp Greenhouse Rating: IP44 Splash Proof Usage: CFL or HPS Ballast Operation: Max Setting Time 24 Hours, Min Setting Time 15 Minutes Manufacturers Guarantee: 1 Year
Keep Your Grow Room Safe: We recommend these as the only safe way to switch your lighting. Cheap timers are not designed to handle the load created by Grow Lights and can burn out with disasterous results.
Users of HPS external ballast sets should be aware that mechanical ballasts degrade over time. After 18/24 months of continual use they become less efficient, consume more power and their initial peak load can be much greater than when new.
