timeguard imm timer

[multimick]

bought a timeguard immersion timer today to switch an immersion heater on and off ,no problem there then ,however on reading the literature it says it only switches 100 watts of led's. whilst i understand inrush on led's its a bit strange it can handle 16 amp resistive but only 100watt of led.s

Yeah, sounds a bit on the low side but I can understand a large derating factor on a switch for LED's because of inrush and appalling power factors often associated with them.
