Hello, I'm having power outages and brown outs here that are pissing me off lately.
I wouldn't be surprised if my plants hermie from all this.
I need my magnetic beast ballasts to not want to fire up the bulb emmediatly after a blackout.
(I already set up a UPS backup battery running a small cfl on the same time as light, so if main ballast/bulbs shuts off, the little cfl on the battery backup will hold the cycle.)
I remember years ago seeing a light controller/timer that had a built in automatic 15min. delay in case of power outage before firing up the bulb/ballast again.
I cannot seem to find it again easily and am tired of looking, does anybody know the device I speak of?
Can you give me company name/model or a link please?
or any other suggestions if there is a better option out there.
Thank you for any help.
