Maxiswitch Powerhouse 6-Way Contactor with Heater Socket

Maxiswitch Powerhouse 6-Way Contactor + Heater Socket

A professional heavy-duty lighting contactor — controls HID lighting by diverting high electrical loads from a fragile timer to a robust contactor. Solid metal enclosure, wall or pole mountable, and includes an additional always-on heater socket. The 6-way variant is right-sized for mid-commercial setups running 6 lights on the same timing cycle.

Why growers choose the Maxiswitch Powerhouse 6-Way:

• 6 controlled mains outlets — enough for 6-light setups (e.g., 6 × 600W HPS)
• Heater socket included — always-on socket for grow-room heater control
• Solid metal enclosure — industrial-grade build, safe near serious electrical loads
• Wall or pole mountable — install where it suits your grow-room layout
• Diverts load from timer to contactor — protects fragile timers from high inductive loads
• Heavy-duty contactor internals — handles HID switch-on current surges reliably
• Professional UK-assembled unit — built to CE standards by UK hands

Who it's not for:

For smaller setups (1-4 lights), the 4-way version is cheaper. For larger commercial (10+ lights), the 8-way or MDF 16-way boards are more appropriate. Installation must be done by someone competent with mains wiring — contactor installation involves live work. Check your mains circuit can handle the total load; 6 × 600W is 3.6kW minimum.
