just built a light controller

[garthvader]

just put this together yesterday havnt had a chance to test it out yet.
does it look like its wired correctly, i believe it is. the design is almost entirely based on madpeguins light controller build in the grow room electrical thread very helpful, thank you. the 2 receps on the left plus the top one are timed 240v first one in left box is a timed 120v and right one in right box is an always on 120v everything is #10 stranded except the grounds which are 12 solid. i just want some feedback on it to make sure everythings square. im going to color the 240v plug plates red and label them better as they are 5-20r's(hooked up to 240v) and i will most likely switch them out in the future for proper 6-20 outlets
will be running 600w's on the 240s so 15amps if all 6 outlets are used (probably a little more ) i only plan to run 4-5 lights really which leaves plenty of amprage for the 120v outlets.
im thinking of making the top timed 240 a constant load to run veg lights off in a seperate room

i have a couple pics attached not sure if i did it right hopefully they show

mistyped when i said " first one in left box is a timed 120v" i meant first(left) in the right box is a timed 120

Hopefully what ever you accidentally plug into the 240 wired 120 recepticals is cheaper to replace than the $7 outlets to do it right.

Nice job, I'm also going to follow the same instructions to build my light controller to get it up and running but plan on upgrading it to be controlled by arduino in future.

Where is the timer?

 

[garthvader]

The smaller plug coming out the bottom on the right of the main box will be pluged into a basic wall timer which powers the coil in the relay switching the plugs off/o



Like I said I plan on switching. The 240 outlets for proper 240 repeticles I just get impaitent and make things. using these shown on my box are dangerous because it is easy to mistake it for a 120 plug(which it is) 120v equipment/applainces supplied with 240 will fry and die ruing it aswell as causing a fire risk if left in. Okay there's my psa.

got it. I purchased a digital timer like the one in the tut:

I thought about building one ini like the look of it but I already had several wall timers so might as well use them. And I just made it an always on 120 plug
