    Default Reccomendations for a contactor..

    Hi, does anyone have any reccomendations for a good heavy duty timer contactor to handle a 600w hps light/ ballast?

    I bought a couple of cheap ever ready timers fir £8 but after reading through this section I realize thats a good way to burn the house down!
    However the cheap timers can come in handy for running the fans.

    I've already done a Google search, it was the first thing I did . However there is no point buying something off spec when I can ask if anyone has any specific recommendations ie, tried and tested specifically with a 600 hps.
    One of the first ones I looked at was the lumii timer but it seems a bit too cheap to be any good.

    There are 'all in one' timer/contactor that can handle 600w. Inexpensive and reliable.

    This is branded 'Maxibright' but it's a generic design.

    Great thankyou. As daft as it seems, it never occurred to me to get a heavy duty timer.
