Timers....

[epdp14]

Ok, I have been running standard analog grounded timers for my t5 lights at 216w until now. However, it seems like the timers are slowly going bad and their reliability sucks. I would like to replace them but the only thing I have found is the aqualight dual timer power strip. What is everyone else using and how is it working out for you?

i have the aqualight strip and it's kind of nice, but it's going to do the same thing as your run of the mill timers. The daylight timer on it has quit working, and it's kind of stupid to have 2 daytime outlets anyways IMO. I have the fan come on with actinics, then daytime, then halide. The led's are always on, so for my situation i only need 2 single plug timers and one double plug timer. Also with the aqualight timer, there are 2 outlets that only get power when the actinic timer switches off, and leaving the LED's on constantly makes those 2 outlets usless to me. Also, as with any power strip, it's a pain to get anything with a transformer pluged in because they block thier neighboring outlets. I bought a bunch of 6" extension cords to overcome that problem.
