Re: dam timers
You must have just got a dodgy timer mate because a single 150w wouldn't need one. My old 2 x 150w were fine

Re: dam timers
wouldnt turn off...when I googled it there is other ppl getting
the contacts welding even with a single 150w.its more to do
with the discharge when the lights turned off that kills the timers
rather than current demand when you turn them on.

Re: dam timers
what size is the contactor? I seen the cheaper ones on ebay but they were only 2k or something and I wanted to get a bigger version just to be safe. Different houses must have differents surges because when gary used my lights he didn't use one and had no problems.
