Power up your lighting safely and reliably
If you’re running multiple grow lights, a standard timer just won’t cut it.
You need something purpose-built to handle the heavy inrush current and keep your setup safe — that’s where Omega Metal Contactors come in.
Designed for commercial and high-demand growers, these UK-made units are built to last.
They let you switch 12 or 16 grow lights on and off without tripping breakers or risking timer failure, and they come with 2 aux sockets for fans, heaters, or other climate gear.
Both models come fitted with a trusted Grasslin timer for long-term, reliable switching. Just mount, plug in, set your schedule, and you’re good to grow.
If you're serious about protecting your lights and maintaining control in the grow room, Omega Contactors are a must-have addition.

Why Do You Need a Contactor?
Grow lights draw a huge amount of power when they first switch on. Standard plug-in timers aren’t built to handle that and can easily fail — or worse, become a fire risk. Omega Metal Contactors use heavy-duty relays to safely isolate and control power flow, protecting your lights and extending the lifespan of your gear.
How to Use Omega Contactors
Mount the unit in a safe spot near your sockets. Plug your lights into the labelled outlets, connect any auxiliary devices, then set your timer to match your lighting cycle. From there, the contactor handles everything automatically.
