Normal timers are not built to take the high inductive loads produced by HID ballasts. If a normal household timer is used with an HID ballast, the contacts inside the timer that open and close the timed circuit will overheat and weld together, breaking the timer and leaving your grow lights permanently on. A definite no-no for any indoor gardener!

The LUMii Heavy Duty 24 Hour Timer is different. As the name suggests, it has been designed to take high loads and has no problem dealing with the inductive loads produced by a 600W ballast. This means no separate contactor is required, saving you money.

What sets this apart from other heavy-duty timers is its unique design Robust ‘inline’ case design with socket and timer dust cover 24 hour, 15 minute segmental timer
