ADVANCED SWITCHER FOR HIGH OUT ELECTRONIC DEIVES
First Claim
1. An apparatus for controlling electronics in an indoor gardening system, the apparatus defining an electrical circuit, comprising:
- a timer connected to the electrical circuit;
a controller connected to the electrical circuit;
at least one switch pair connected to the electrical circuit, the switch pair defining a channel;
at least one ballast connected to the circuit and powering a single switch pair;
the controller connected to at least one switch pair and based upon the appropriate signal from the timer, the controller sends a high signal to switch to power the ballast, which, in turn, switches power one of the switches in the switch pair to the other of the switches in the switch pair.

Abstract
Disclosed herein is a circuit and device for activating and deactivating various high current output electrical devices, where such electrical devices are particularly appropriate for use in a hydroponic growing system. The circuit includes, a timer, a controller, a switch pair, defining a channel, one ballast connected to the switch pair and two high current output devices connected to one ballast. In an exemplary embodiment, the high current output device defines a high intensity light of the type commonly used in the indoor growing industry. The circuit includes the controller being connected to each the ballasts and upon the appropriate signal from the timer, the controller sends a high signal to switch which, in turn, sends a high signal to the ballast, which, in turn, powers one and only one of the high current output devices. In an exemplary embodiment there are six ballasts, each with two lighting arrays.
