Hortitek LMU Light Assembly Kit (6 Socket)
Total Control and Protection for Your Grow Room Lighting
Managing multiple high-intensity grow lights requires more than just a standard power board. The 6-Socket Hortitek Light Management Unit (LMU) Assembly Kit is a professional-grade contactor and timer box designed to let you safely and easily automate up to six indoor grow lights simultaneously.
Housed in a durable, UV-resistant enclosure and built with premium components, this LMU is engineered to handle the heavy continuous loads of large hydroponic lighting systems without risking power surges, melted timers, or tripped circuits.
KEY FEATURES & FUNCTIONS
• 6-Socket Capacity: Designed to safely power and control up to six high-intensity discharge (HID) ballasts or modern commercial LED fixtures.
• Precision Time Control: Automate your vegetative and flowering cycles effortlessly. The built-in heavy-duty 24-hour analog timer allows you to simulate exact day/night light cycles, ensuring your plants receive consistent photoperiods across all connected fixtures.
• Advanced Power Control: Protect your expensive equipment and your home. The LMU utilizes professional-grade circuit breakers to safely distribute power and protect the load from electrical faults.
• Smart Time Delay Technology: When multiple lights switch on, they draw a massive initial surge of power. This Hortitek LMU features a staggered ignition (Time Delay) function that fires your lights up in sequence rather than all at once. This significantly reduces the startup current, preventing voltage drops and protecting your electrical network.
• Always-On Live Sockets: This unit includes designated "Live" sockets that bypass the timer. These are perfect for running essential equipment that needs 24/7 power, such as extraction fans, circulation fans, or water pumps.
• Built to Last: Manufactured with high-quality internal wiring and housed in a rugged enclosure that resists UV degradation from intense grow room environments.
WHY USE A DEDICATED LMU?
Standard domestic timers are not designed to handle the inductive load (the massive power spike) of multiple grow lights. Running a 6-light setup on standard timers is a major fire hazard. The Hortitek LMU uses industrial contactors to absorb that power spike, keeping your grow room safe, reliable, and compliant.
TYPICAL SPECIFICATIONS:
