Hello Mrperson, Thank you for your question. This timer has not been tested for a ballast. Note: This test is generally only done for in wall timers. Therefore, we cannot guarantee the timer will work for your application (even though the wattage is within the specs). Since our timer has not been test for this application, there would be a risk associated with using the timer in this manner. The timer specifications are as follows: 125VAC 60 Hz, 15A Resistive, 1250W Tungsten, ½ HP. If you have any further questions, please feel free to respond or contact us through phone or email. Thank you, Jasco Products Tech Support (Manufacturer)
lancelot, Great question. This timer uses less than 1 watt. If you have any further questions, please feel free to respond or contact us through phone or email. Thank you, Jasco Products Tech Support (Manufacturer)
Dear InquiringMind67, With this basic mechanical timer you can override the timer and use your lamp normally (manually), set the master switch to the “OUTLET ON” position. This will deactivate the timer’s control of the lamp, but the timer’s dial will still show the current time of day. To reactivate the timer’s control of the lamp, turn the lamp’s switch on and set the timer’s master switch to “TIMER ON.” If you have any further questions, please feel free to respond or contact us through phone or email. Thank you, Jasco Products Tech Support (Manufacturer)
Yes, you would use the on/off switch on the timer at the top to turn it completely off.
No!
Dear Madonna, With this basic mechanical timer you will only need to program once. You should only have to “Reset” the time of day if there is a power failure. To override the timer and use your lamp normally, set the master switch to the “OUTLET ON” position. This will deactivate the timer’s control of the lamp, but the timer’s dial will still show the current time of day. To reactivate the timer’s control of the lamp, turn the lamp’s switch on and set the timer’s master switch to “TIMER ON.” If you have any further questions, please feel free to respond or contact us through phone or email. Thank you, Jasco Products Tech Support (Manufacturer)
No.
Dear LenB - Yes, this timer is LED compatible. Also, this timer does not use a relay, because it has a switch. However, there should be zero current leakage through either a switch or relay. If you continue to experience issues, we recommend you contact the manufacturer (Jasco). If you have any further questions, please feel free to respond or contact us through phone or email. Thank you, Jasco Products Tech Support (Manufacturer)
We do not recommend using this timer in wet locations, but if it is plugged into the wall away from the fish tank it should work as long as it is within the wattage rating. This timer is rated for 1250W Tungsten and is compatible with CFL, LED, and incandescent bulbs. If you are needing to you use it in a wet location, you might want to try our 24-Hour Outdoor Mechanical timer (model number: 15138). If you have any further questions, please feel free to respond or contact us through phone or email. Jasco Products Tech Support (Manufacturer)

We do not recommend you use this timer to control any items that have heating elements, such as heating blankets and cooking appliances. If you have any further questions, please feel free to respond or contact us through phone or email. Jasco Products Tech Support (Manufacturer)
