I have a 30A timer running 2 x 600w HID's a 10A digital timer controlling my watering system and a cheap 10A timer on the 200w CF in the veg cab all powered from a single 15A power cord, someones been telling you porkies.

TomStoner Reviewed by TomStoner on . Timers & ext plug At the moment I am using 200w envirolite connected to an extention plug. I am want to use a timer when i switch to flowering. However, i don't know whether i can use a standard timer(from local hardawre shop) or whether i need to use a light switching timer contactors. I am worried if I use a timer with the ext plug then risk of fire or timer being disabled will occur. Any advice? Rating: 5
