I purchased 2 controllers off ebay... http://cgi.ebay.com/Mini-Digital-Temperature-Controller-Thermostat-Aquarium_W0QQitemZ270531863176QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item3efcf4a288 and I had an idea to heat my HLT with a 1500w heat stick and use this as a controller after the purchase. The spec says that Relay contact capacity (Heating): 10A (max) 250 V, I figure a 110v 1500w heating element draws about 13.6 amps. Would I burn the controller or would the element just work with less efficiency? Thanks!
