Microprocessor Logic

Is anyone here versed in logic? I just bought an industrial microprocessor timer to control my lighting schedule as it was cheaper(by far!) then buy industrial strenth timers for each individual ballast. This guy has four programable channels. Before I get too carried away let me ask this question. This timer will handle 7.5 amps per channel this should be suffice to power a ballast on each channel right? If not Ill have one hell of a high tech greenhouse!

Re: Microprocessor Logic

How many amps are your ballasts pulling?As long as its not over 7.5 you'll be alright.
