Light Controller Available in Thailand?

[Scaliwags66]

Hello all, 

I am wondering if anyone knows where I can buy a light controller in Thailand? If not, I will have to order from abroad but figured it was worth checking here first. I am no expert, but am familiar with the linked Titan Brand. I would need at least an 8 light unit. Thank you for any insight. Cheers.

Hi,

 

I had to import mine after looking pretty hard.

 

Will be interesting to see if anybody else has found one... ????

Did you have any issues with customs getting thru? Or did they just deliver to the door no worries? Thanks man.

Also, which brand did you get? Any recommendations. Appreciate it.

Best bet is to send it with EMS, any of the large couriers like FEDEX will bend you right over on the tax.

 

If possible put the name of a Thai on there, that helps and expect them to deliver a card to your address asking you to go to the post office and pay the tax, good to have that Thai with you when you go (unless you speak good Thai and can haggle).

 

Mine came in with 3 parabolic reflectors as well and tax was 1800 Baht for the lot, which is not too bad.

 

I only needed one for 4 x 600W lights so just went with the plugin Maxigrow Heavy duty timer, works fine.

What lights are you using - LED or HID?

Quantum led boards + meanwell driver.

Yeah they have a very low induction and don't need a contactor to stop the timer from blowing - you can use pretty much any timer with them.

 

I presume that Scaliwag is using HID hence the need for a timer that can turn the lights on and off without blowing the timer.

Ask the question on the hone building forum, there is a subform on electric's,

some spare should be able to answer the questions.

Use pump timer control panel (many available, search on Lazada) and adapt to how many circuits you need!
