Run several from a standard plug-in timer and the contacts pit and weld, leaving lights stuck on or off partway through a cycle. A contactor takes that strain, keeps the photoperiod reliable and protects steady vegetative growth and flowering from missed or doubled light periods.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e plug the two 13 A plugs into separate wall sockets on a circuit rated for the full load.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSet the timer:\u003c\/strong\u003e push down the segments for the hours your lights should be on.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLoad:\u003c\/strong\u003e plug in your ballasts, spreading them evenly so neither side exceeds \u003cstrong\u003e13 A\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMount:\u003c\/strong\u003e fix the unit off the floor with the brackets, clear of water and irrigation lines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"hcs-specs\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e LUMii\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVersions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4 socket, 6 socket, 8 socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaximum load:\u003c\/strong\u003e 26 A \/ 3000 W (13 A per side)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8 socket capacity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6 x 600 W (3 per side), 4 x 1000 W (2 per side) or 8 x 400 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTimer:\u003c\/strong\u003e Grässlin 24-hour segment timer, 15-minute steps\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMains input:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 x 13 A plugs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSocket protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e hinged cover on every socket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMounting:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 brackets (wall or tent pole) and floor pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAssembly:\u003c\/strong\u003e designed, assembled and quality checked in the UK\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"LUMii","offers":[{"title":"4 Socket","offer_id":53803830870282,"sku":"LGT-LUII-006-01","price":79.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"6 Socket","offer_id":53803830903050,"sku":"LGT-LUII-006-02","price":89.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"8 Socket","offer_id":53803830935818,"sku":"LGT-LUII-006-03","price":99.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0748\/7127\/5786\/files\/lumii-contactor-timer-1.jpg?v=1790229728","url":"https:\/\/hydrocropshop.co.uk\/products\/lumii-contactor-timer","provider":"Hydro Crop Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
