    I'm currently using a 1200w GreenGo LED light to grow my plants. Recently I've gotten a timer to automatically turn off the lights from 12-6 and it was working perfectly for awhile but only recently I've been noticing problems. I tested it again today, lights went off at 12 came on at 6 and I said that was that.. came back in at 8 and the lights were off. My automatic timer is a TNDHD002

    Intermatic T101.
    Stupidly mechanical, Nearly indestructible. They will run for decades and never miss a cycle.
    $50.00
    I run several of them. Installed them for a living for 30 years. Don't think in all that time I ever actually replaced one.

    The one I'm using currently is a simple AC plug in. How would you hook up one of these to a grow light?

    Chop a heavy duty extension cord in half and wire into the time clock.
    I've done several this way and they work quite well.

    Neutral is the large blade on the cord.
