Ecotechnics PowerStar 1-Way Contactor — Single-Light HID Switching

Ecotechnics PowerStar 1-Way Contactor — Reliable Single-Light HID Switching

The Ecotechnics PowerStar Contactors are specifically designed for timed switching of horticultural lighting and appliances — simple to use, providing years of trouble-free service. The 1-way variant gives a single high-power outlet, suited to single-lamp setups where dedicated contactor protection makes sense rather than running HID lamps directly through cheap timers. High-power, reliable contactor design.

Why growers choose the PowerStar 1-Way:

• Single high-power outlet — for single-lamp HID setups
• Specifically designed for horticultural lighting — not a generic contactor adapted
• Timed switching capability — works with external timers
• Years of trouble-free service — proven Ecotechnics reliability
• Protects timer from inductive surges — HID switch-on current near double run load
• Simple to use — straightforward installation, no complex setup
• High-power capacity — handles full HID wattage demands

Who it's not for:

For multi-lamp setups, the 2-way (2 sockets), 3-way (3 sockets, 3kW each), or 4-way (4 sockets, 3kW each) PowerStar variants are better matched. For larger commercial setups, MDF 16-way or 24-way contactor boards scale up. Mains installation should be done by someone competent with electrical work. Check total wattage against the contactor rating; don't exceed.
