Good day all. Long time lurker here, finally signed up.

I bought a Titan Controls Apollo 9 Digital Timer a few days ago and I was about to set it up when I saw on the box it said 115V | 12A | 60Hz.

This is different than the specs the supplier's site had which was 120V | 15A | 60Hz.

My question is, can I use this 115V version of the Apollo 9 (as it seems to have a 120V variant as well) to control my Electric Sky 180 V3 grow light?

That light is rated at 1.65A @ 120V / 0.82A @ 240V.

Would using the 115V timer harm my light or ruin the timer? I just want to be certain I don't throw away my money before I even start my first grow. Would appreciate any guidance/advice, thank you!

Can't seem to edit the post again but just adding this here for reference.

The ES180 v3 :

Input Power / Voltage - 200W / 100-277V

Amperage - 1.65A @ 120V / 0.82A @ 240V

In the US the 2 voltages are interchangeable. They mean the same thing. It only refers to the insulation and the plug config which is the same on both.

you will be running no where near the capacity of any part of your system. Go to go.
