Loadstar Timer Contactor — 2/4/6/8 Way

Safely Power Multiple Grow Lights from One Unit

The Loadstar Timer Contactor is a heavy-duty lighting controller that switches multiple grow lights on and off together, safely and reliably. HID lighting draws a high inductive load at start-up that will quickly burn out a standard timer — the Loadstar diverts that load through a robust contactor, protecting your timer and keeping your light cycle rock‑solid. Choose the way‑count to match how many lights you are running.

Key Benefits

• Protects your timer — diverts high electrical loads to a heavy‑duty contactor
• Runs multiple lights together — up to 8 switched sockets from one unit
• Built‑in segmental timer — set precise on/off times for your photoperiod
• Heavy‑duty build — premium components in a robust metal housing with wall‑mounting hooks
• Tidier grow room — less cabling on the floor, safer and easier to manage

Why You Need a Contactor

All HID lighting needs a contactor to handle the surge required to ignite the lamp. Plug ballasts straight into a timer and it will eventually fail — often leaving lights stuck on and risking crop damage. The Loadstar takes that load, so your grow lights switch cleanly every cycle and your timer lasts.

How to Use

1. Plug the contactor into the wall using its heavy‑duty power cable.
2. Plug your timer into the contactor's timer socket.
3. Connect your ballasts to the switched sockets, up to the unit's way‑count.
4. Set your timer to your light‑on hours — every connected light switches together.
