Anyone use this I have one and cant figure out if I can get the actinics to kick on an hour before daytime and an hour after daylight It seems that its all on or all off is this right If this is the case waste of $$$$ no???????

I'm pretty sure its all or nothing but I have never used one personally. A guy on here had one catch on fire recently.... and several people have had some problems with it.

I would return it if you can.

The colors of the plugs are different.One timer is 2 colored plugs the other timer for two other plugs and the others are always on.I had some troubles figuring out when new setting up but now its set and leave it alone works for me

Ya I know that but Im wondering If im missing something Is it all daylight or can the actinics kick on for an hour then the 10,000k
or is it just both at once I figured out the two diffrent colors:lol:

Do you have the a dual timer? I'm not sure, but I think you probably have the single. That could be why you are not able to get it to work.

oh ya sorry not to clear got the digital one which is supposed to have 7 cycles and has 4 timer controlled outlets but if the yellow are on the blue is off and vise versa

thats the way product functions. kicks blue on when yellow kicks off. i had to get two to do what you are wanting. have had no problems with mine so far. use one for daylight. other one for actinics. have moon lights on actinic strip blue. when actinics kick off moonlights come on

If its a single you can plug in another timer into one of the outlets that stays on all the time and then you have two timers.
