C.A.P. High Temp Shutdown w/Delay
HLC-3e


The HLC-3e by Custom Automated Products protects your garden from overheating and your light from Hot Starts". The HLC-3e constantly monitors your garden temperature. If the garden exceeds the temperature that you have set, the HLC-3e turns off your lights so that crop damage will not occur. It then turns on the "Temp Exceeded" light to let you know that an overheating situration occured. When the temperature returns to normal, it will turn your lights back on.

The HLC-3e also constantly monitors the power going to your light. In the event of a power failure, it will not allow the light to restart until 15 minutes after the power is restored. This prevents your light from attempting to "Hot Start" your bulb, preventing bulb damage and increasing bulb life.

The HLC-3e comes with a 15' remote temperature sensor. The HLC-3e is rated at 15 amps @ 120 volts. 3 year warranty.

How's the RF on these? I'm still holding off on the digital units, because there are still issues here and there. This unit sounds solid and a nice unit.

Life Light Technologies, Inc.‘s Solar E-Ballasts, the State-of –the-Art Digital Electronic Ballasts with onboard micro-processing. The Ballast with a Brain! Remember, electronic ballasts aren’t digital electronic ballasts. Life Light Solar E-Ballasts feature true digital onboard micro-processing. Solar E-Ballasts will soft start your lamps, eliminating harsh spiky startups that diminish bulb life; the ballast then drives the lamp to its maximum potential and keeps it there. Life Light Inc. Solar E-Ballasts are remotable up to 90’ from the lamp. These ballasts operate at the highest frequency of any H.I.D. ballast available, giving you the power of half the sun’s usable energy, which is all plants need. The Solar E-Ballasts are guaranteed to not interfere with any electronic instruments. Life Light’s Solar E-Ballasts have our exclusive “Thermal Dimming” feature. These factory pre-sets will dim your lights down 60% when the thermal dimming is engaged. When heat overpowers the garden area, this feature will dim until proper temperature has been restored, and then full light output will return. If the plant leaf is too hot, the plants can’t use the light you’re paying for.

TheSolar E-Ballast includes an onboard cooling fan to maintain the proper temperatures on the circuit boards helping to extend their life. The Life Light Solar E-Ballast is available in a 600 Watt model.
