what do you guys think about these...http://growershouse.com/sentinel-hac-30a-high-amperage-contactor my local grow shop has one for $60. im already shopping for a light controller and i ws thinking that i could just hardwire whatever i need in here instead of messing with my circuit breaker/panel . am i wrong in my thought process?

no.. your not thinking right.. not for what your wanting to really do... just hardwire the system properly even at that price a setting up a breaker and buying a 100ft roll of indoor wire is less than that.. or at least that same price and its done right not rigged through a secondary box.. i can't tell what kinda relay is in the middle of the box or if they stuck two breakers in there but i assume hey are specialty parts so if you burn that up now you have to reorder the system again or the parts and replace it.. thats not going to happen with proper hardwire.. when its done its done for good.. maybe in 10-15 years you have to replace a plug or something but other than that theres no upkeep and maintenance. ..i just see it as a waste.
thank you for the input. didnt think of any of that
