Hi Gordon, thanks for your review. It sounds like the issue may have been caused by not using a heavy-duty contactor or relay timer. Magnetic ballasts like this one draw a large surge of power when switching on, which can overload standard household timers or circuits if not properly managed.
We’d always recommend using a contactor with HPS kits to prevent wiring issues and avoid any humming or electrical strain. If you need help setting one up or choosing the right one, feel free to get in touch with the team, we’re happy to help!
