I got a 120w tube heater in my tent which has been on 24/7 during the frosty weather, since its been milder this week I only need to have it switched on during lights out so I went to maplins and brought a digital timer Max Output 13A 3000W.

My questions is can I run this without using a contactor?, my contactor only has 2 sockets on it and I have my lamp and also a desk fan plugged into it so I got no spare sockets for the heater.

Cheers

yes mate it will be fine . i only use a contacter for lights as they are high wattage but if you are worried swap your fan for your heater as a desk fan uses harly any juice at all.
hope this helps

greens sell a specific item

2 contactors that switch night and day

1 for rad and 1 for light

s'fine mate

Cheers fellas, it all worked fine today, the timer came on with no problems, 27 max lights on down to 22 min lights out.
