Ok...so I went to my friendly home improvement store and bought two timers for my lights. In the near term, I've got a 40W actinic and 220W in PC's (2x10,000 and 2x7100). I can't put the PC's on two timers, so I decided to have the 40W actinic come on an hour before the PC's and then turn off when the PC's come on. And then the PC's are supposed to turn off and have the actinic 40 come on for another hour.
Well, the timer turns on the PC's, but won't turn them off. Have tried both, both are now broken!
They are GE lamp/electric appliance timers, rated to 1250W (max tungsten?) and 125 VAC general purpose. Did I exceed the rating with 220W of PC's?
And if so, what kind of timer will work for my PC's? Anyone have any suggestions?
