Sooner or later the lights stick on or refuse to start, and an unreliable photoperiod stresses plants and throws out the whole schedule. A contactor panel sends that current through a heavy-duty relay instead, so the timer only has to give the signal and your light cycle stays on time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHard-wired only:\u003c\/strong\u003e this is an electrical component that must be connected by a qualified electrician directly to a suitable supply from your distribution board.
