16-Way Lighting Board with Timer

🌱 16-Way Lighting Board with Timer — Guide and Product Information

💡 Centralised Power Control for Grow Rooms

The 16-Way Lighting Board with Timer is designed for growers who want a practical and tidy way to manage multiple pieces of equipment from one location. With 16 switched outlets and a built-in 24-hour mechanical timer, this board helps streamline daily operation of lighting, ventilation and hydroponic accessories without the need to constantly plug and unplug devices.

It is a useful addition for grow rooms, propagation areas and hydroponic systems where several electrical items need to run to a repeatable daily schedule. By keeping power distribution centralised, it can help make setup, routine checks and day-to-day operation much easier.

⏰ Built-In 24-Hour Mechanical Timer

The integrated mechanical timer offers straightforward daily scheduling using a traditional dial and tab system. Simply align the dial with the current time and set the required on and off periods. Once set, the timer repeats the same 24-hour cycle every day, making it ideal for regular lighting periods or timed equipment operation.

• ✔ Easy-to-use dial timer with on and off tabs
• ✔ Repeats the same schedule every 24 hours
• ✔ No digital programming or battery setup required
• ✔ Well suited to routine lighting and equipment cycles

🔌 Individually Switched Outlets

Each of the 16 mains sockets has its own switch, allowing connected equipment to be controlled independently when needed. This makes it easier to isolate individual devices for maintenance, testing or adjustment without disturbing the whole system.

For growers running several items at once, this type of board can be especially useful for keeping cables organised and reducing the hassle of managing separate timers and extension leads.

• ✔ 16 independently switched mains sockets
• ✔ Practical manual control for connected devices
• ✔ Suitable for use alongside timed daily schedules

🌿 Suitable Applications Around the Grow Room

This lighting board is suitable for a range of indoor horticultural uses, including controlling grow lights, extraction fans, circulation fans, air pumps and water pumps. It is particularly useful in larger tents or dedicated grow spaces where multiple devices need reliable, centralised power access.
