Advanced switcher for high out electronic deives

Abstract

Disclosed herein is a circuit and device for activating and deactivating various high current output electrical devices, where such electrical devices are particularly appropriate for use in a hydroponic growing system. The circuit includes, a timer, a controller, a switch pair, defining a channel, one ballast connected to the switch pair and two high current output devices connected to one ballast. In an exemplary embodiment, the high current output device defines a high intensity light of the type commonly used in the indoor growing industry. The circuit includes the controller being connected to each the ballasts and upon the appropriate signal from the timer, the controller sends a high signal to switch which, in turn, sends a high signal to the ballast, which, in turn, powers one and only one of the high current output devices. In an exemplary embodiment there are six ballasts, each with two lighting arrays.
