Some folk say you dont need them but it is a fire hazard imo to just plug a ballast straight into a timer , something to do with the ballast pulling twice the load on start up if memory serves me correctly.

The ones i use are grasslin digital timers that according to an electrician friend of mine are fine to use but still tho peace of mind is well worth the few euros a relay costs.
Hell every plug in my room has its own circut breaker, been electrocuted years ago and never want to experience that again.
