Thanks. i'll dig through the link in a min.I'm not in any way affiliated with this company and I have never bought any of their products. I just thought this was an interesting read:
is there a neutral for the dryer? if not, you wouldn't be able to pull a 120v circuit.
http://www.ehydroponics.com/?action=product_list&cid=292 use one of these inexpensive 240v timers and you are set. you could easily run #14 wire... it would handle the load of the light at 240v no problem
this works better when you have multiple lights to switch. i build a variation of this that is a little bit cleaner looking and cheaper.
looked at your pic again and you do have a neutral, so yes, you can run 120v off that circuit. i'd just be careful about running your dryer while lights are running. to be safe, since i don't know how much of a 120v load you are going to pull, run 12's.
I would run your light 120v, using the black hot leg. i would then use the red hot leg for a dedicated 120v circuit for other appliances. this works well for a single light set up. change ur breaker to 20 amps (2 not bridged together)
h
you can run 6 1k's on a 30 amp circuit with a Powerbox 7500, 240 unit.
sweet, thanks for the help.
Now all of this can come off the dryer plug still? I'm just spliting it up down the line?
and I still need to change out the 30 amp 2 pole to single pole 20s?
