Sentinel CHHC-1 and new Sun Systems reflectors?

If anyone has experience with the CHHC-1 I was wondering if i plug an a/c and have CO2 will it shut off my a/c when th CO2 is on(like some systems do with an exhaust fan). Because of certain conditions i'm going to have to run CO2 and don't have any experience.

I was also wondering if anyone has used/tested the new Magnum XXXL 8",6", or Great White? I'm in the market for 3 new reflectors and was thinking about the Super Sun 2, then I saw these.

Yes, you can technically plug in an A/C as long as it's under 15A. I'm not so sure I'd trust the internal components (small relays with probably a 15A-max rating, #14 wires, etc.) to running a near-15A A/C reliably.

Why would you want the CO2 (burner or bottle?) shut off when A/C is running? Because the A/C is exchanging air and sucking out the CO2? In that case you need to figure out a different approach or get a different A/C (with auto-restart). Seems to me that you're missing the point. If it's not 120v or > 15A, you'll need a relay with 120v coil.

I've seen some of the Magnum XXXL's in play, and I don't really like them. I'd personally stick to the SS2, but obviously you mentioned nothing about your setup or why you think a certain reflector will help.

BTW I just remembered that Sentinel sells a PXM (-1 for 120v, and -2 for 240v) that is basically a relay with a trigger cord to hook into a 120v output w/ limited total amperage controller such as the CHHC-1.
