I need a good recommendation for light timers

reptileforest Nov 05, 2005 06:25 PM

Hello,

I am seeking a timer to turn on my herps lights and turn them off. Since i work i dont have a good balance on lighting system. So i need a timer to regulate it all for me. My only problem is: Where can I get a timer that will be able to regulate about 4 lights at once? I have 4 tanks, with 4 heat lamps and I need something to regulate all 4. Any web sites out there or specific timers that do that? let me know on that plz

Get a powerstrip and timer from walmart, homedepot, lowes, target or someother like store. Plug all your lamps/lights into the powerstrip and then plug your powerstrip into the timer and then the timer into the wall.

I do the same thing for my lights as well as humidifiers. 4 lights on one power strip. Done and done. Make sure you use a digital timer though. The mechanical models lose time allot faster. Nothing fancy, just one on/off cycle.

I saw your post in the ball forums and replyed there, but just incase you miss it here it is again.

You might want to give this one a try;

I got one of these a few years ago, and it works great!

I have my daytime lights and heat set on one side, and my night time heat set on the other.
