Is this timer compatible with 240V digital ballasts such as the Nanolux digital ballast used for MH and HPS lights? I have seen some other digital timers that specify they are not compatible with a digital ballast, but I do not see that on this one....

I've been using this timer on both a Lumatek digital and a now a new Phantom digital ballast for almost a year total with no problems at all.

Absolutely Not. No it does not work with any of the new digital or electronic ballasts. It only works with an old school ANSI 52 Magnetic Ballast.

Some electronic devices are able to use universal power. This timer does not. It will run on 12VDC or 12VAC. 120VAC will burn it out. The switching contacts are rated for 120VAC, but not the power supplied to the unit.

Hi Denton...should work, my install is behind a double switch plate with one traditional switch and this timer. This works well with LED lights, it has a battery to assist the switching action because of the small amount out electricity for operation. Others will not work on low voltage lights.Joe

No, this is just a delay (timer) relay. You need 12v DC program-able digital timer. See amazon link for example part that can do what you want it to do for you.uxcell DC 12V Digital LCD Power Programmable Timer Time Switch Relay 10A

Yes any digital ballast should. This kit came with the option to get a MH with it if I wanted. The HPS bulb that came with the kit seems in great condition but I am still going to buy a bulb from a third party company that is known for a quality bulbs. ( I would never start a grow without a replacement bulb)

No, and although it had worked successfully for me once I didn't have as much success the second time around. Projection TV repairman told me that it ruined my ballast and that the lamp has to be of a certain criteria as to perform properly. My television is a PT-50LC13

I'm not sure, as we do not use ours on a timer. Sorry if this isn't helpful.

i had no issue with it working the flourescents i had a pair of them and it works great. your mileage may vary. also my flourecents used the newer ballast system instead of the old style.

Yes, I'm using an 18 watt CREE LED light bulb with this timer. The package states 40 watt minimum, but it seems to work fine.

I don't have a problem with this timer. I use it all year long for one circuit and three circuits during Christmas. I'm on my second timer in about 8 years(?) as the LCD dislpay went on my first timer. The bad part: The timer modules only work with incandesant bulbs. I added a 120v relay with dry contacts to every module (lamp and control modules) to provide strictly on or off lightning. Can't use the dimming feature, but I have elimiated problems with Floursents and LEDs. I'm surprised 'someone' hasn't added an upgraded module for the newer lighting fixtures.

No this timer is for 240v ac units. The plug configuration is different and will not work.

Nope, its not gonna work, drl runs at lower voltage, way less than 12V, not enough to fire ballasts

Yes I have and a 240 extension cord on that team timer and I have 3 600 watt digital ballast hooked up to it

No, use a thousand watt bulb in a thousand watt ballast. The dimmable feature , like on here will dim to 750 watts and down to 500 watts. I had this unit for 23 months and went sour. No went with another brand - Apollo 1000- the quantum company wouldn't help me unless I had a contract, the grow store , from SoCal forget the name, they wouldn't honor the 3 year warranty and Anazon wont after 30 days. Just my experience and I bought the Quantum wen it was $300. Apollo 1000. 189 just as good.

I've installed this ballast once before and it has worked for about 3 yr. I just received another one, and I noticed that it specifically states that it not for use with dimmers. Go figure. I don't know what else to use, though. Unfortunately, the new one doesn't appear to work at all.

Yes, I have this timer hooked up to my LED fish tank light so it should work just fine with your LED replacement bulb.
