Greets to all...

I am in need of a switch that will automatically switch from the light in grow area #1 when it goes out and automatically turn on the light in grow area #2 and have not found one online and was wondering if anyone knew what it is called.

I have googled automatic light toggle switch and other names and have found nothing yet.

Thank you Very much in advance for any help.

Don't think it exists as a single switch. I do alot of automotive electronics for a living 8
and you would have to use a series of UC and UO relays. That's how I would do it on certain electrical systems I've installed.

Second option would be using a bit more technical and require some more in depth circuit board building. You could use a series of transistors but would require voltage step downs and varies pains.

Thirdly and most simply why not just run addition timers for different lights.
 
What you are doing is called a "flip". Where two flowering rooms alternate schedules on a 12/12. Very easy to setup. If you use a flip box one ballast will run both lights. You usually have to power cycle the ballast at the flips with digital ballasts.
 
Just checked out the power box flip controller. Works on relays. Thought they might.

I guess you could of done logic gate control also buy at more of a cost when compared to relays.

Love learning!
