I have 3 Mars Pro II Epistar 320 and 1 Mars Pro Epistar 160 lamps from Mars-Hydro
The 160 was the first LED light I bought and the great results I have had with this lamp inspired me to buy 3 more lamps from the same company. The 160 has a remote control and timing can be programmed, so that one I plug straight into the wall. The pro II series however, comes without remote, so on these I plan to use timer(s).
The 160 I plan to use in a small "cloning-tent"
1x320 I plan to keep in a little larger tent for mother-plants
2x320 I plan to keep in the main growing room
The question is this:
one timer can handle 1000 watts. The mars-hydro lamps draw 800 watt each in bloom mode and around 350 watt in grow mode. Do I need to use one timer pr lamp like with HID and ballasts, or can I get away with running 2 of these lamps on the same timer? That would give a total draw of 1600 watts during flowering.

All the lights you are using are the rock stars among our lights now.
