What up dudes and dudettes, I have a situation which surely everyone growing with LED lights has encountered. I'm not sure its a problem however my LED lights have a slight glow to them when powered off via a wall outlet timer.
The outlet timer is nothing special, a 25 dollar digital chunk of plastic and clearly its passing enough current to illuminate my lights when off, but I'm looking for some possible solutions to eliminate this. The solution I'm leaning towards is wiring in a solid state relay however if anyone is using a digital outlet timer which provides total isolation I would prefer that.
On another note I have completed one crop with no perceived side effects, ideal growing conditions would be those that imitate an outdoor grow and a light glow at night would be comparable to the moon or stars in the sky, any thoughts?
