This unit runs 4x 1000 Wat High Intensity Discharge Lamps or any combination of watts adding up to 4000 Watts or below. Why do I need a control unit? A control unit in its simplest form is a device for switching high inductive loads, such as those found with High Intensity Discharge (HID) lighting. Usually the control unit is combined with a timer unit (either internally or remotely) to manage the cycles required to turn the lighting on\off. When using HID lighting you should use a control unit to manage your lighting on\off cycles as a domestic timer unit cannot withstand the high inductive loads. Plugging HID lighting directly into a domestic timer unit will cause the timer to prematurely fail and could lead to a potential electrical hazard. This will also eventually result in your lights being fused in the on or off state. Maxiswitch Control Units are designed and assembled to the highest standards with these safety reasons solely in.
