Can any of you wonderful people help clear up my confusion re. what sort of digital timer I can use with my ballasts? I don't think I need a more expensive multi-light controller (or do I?) I just have two 600w lights in the flower room. I used household digital timers (one timer per ballast) with my digital ballasts for a few years oblivious to any idea that these digital timers might not be the best thing to use with digital ballasts, or possibly with HID lights period. It was after a timer burnt up on me a few months ago that I started doing more research. The timers I've been using are rated thus;
15A, 1875-Watt. Tungsten rating:8A, 1000-Watt. 5A Ballast.
"Seems" like they should be fine. I have sent off a few emails to Lumatek but they never got back to me. I've found some DIYs to improve
the relays on the household timers- surely that's not the only option?
