What type of timer do I need for a 600 watt ballast?
Hello,
I am starting an indoor tomato garden, and I just bought a 600w High Pressure Sodium Light with a 120v 600w ballast.
I need to hook up the ballast to a timer so I can automate the lighting, but I was told that ballasts will melt standard timers.
Is this true? Do I need to get a special timer for it? Any information will be helpful.
Thanks!
the timer is just a sophisticated switch. same principles . all it does is close the normally open contacts at a predetermined setting
