I got my controller, but i don't want to run my lights off of it people have suggested running industrial pool timers off of 240 v breakers as i need an electrician to put them. I want to know what you guys think cause i just want to use my controller to run everything else, but my lights even tho it can i just don't want to chance it what do you guys think? any suggestions?

Huh? You got a 240v light controller and dont want to use it for lights? It easy to run a 10 wire and throw in a double pole breaker. Dont really understand your question though...you saying you want to run your controller at 120v and run your fans off it?

no i got an iPonic600, i can run the lights off of there, but at 120 its 18 amps total for the 2 1ks and the controller is only 15 amps, but id rather run all of my equipment off of the controller and not the lights, but i just don't know whats the best way to run the lights and keep everything in sink with the controller

You can not plug your ballasts directly into the outlet on the iPonic600, but you can purchase a lighting controller separately and plug the trigger cord from lighting controller into the outlet on the iPonic600.
