They ARE bad quality, and you can ask an electrician to build you one, must cheaper, much more reliable.

A flip flop is where you have one ballast and two hoods. The flip flop is on a timer and flips the current from one hood to the other without ever turning off. So your ballast runs 24/7. No spikes.

You can run multiple ballasts and hoods on one.

Got it. Thanks guys.

So a normal contactor/relay just with a 12/12 timer switch and then dual outputs.

Go to nowirenuts.ca and get a custom built flip or other lighting controller.
