hi all,

the room i am about to use for flowering only has one double socket. i've been told it's ok to run lights off i socket and an extension for fans, etc from the other. i'll run 2 x 600w hps. this means only 1 plug for the contactor and timer so what type or brand of contactor do i need? i have a canatronics 4 but it looks like that will take up both sockets?

help us out here please.

Plug the one socket of the contactor directly into the wall socket and the one for the timer onto the extension stoned.gif

will that be ok it says on the instructions to not use an extension for either plug.

COULD ONE OF YOU KIND PEOPLE PLEASE CONFIRM THIS FOR A CANATRONICS 4 CONTACTOR? 'twould save me a lot of hassle if i could do the above.

As long as the Main Power plug is in the wall its fine
the timer plug is ok on the extention, the main power plug Must go in the wall socket.
