Looking at finally getting a timer for my lights.  Right now the lights are on 7am-10pm.   rightOuch


I need one that will support 2 plugs as my four bulb setup has 2 cables. 


It would be great to be able to set the two sets to come on at separate times(actinics first then daylight 10 min later).


Any recommendations? brands?

I wish I could afford a controller but that is out of the questions at the moment.

Grounded appliance timers work fantastic and allow limited money to go for more animals. Big smile
I have extra timers. $5
A three outlet adapter plug (just $3 more) or even a cheap power strip plugged in to the timer outlet turns an ordinary timer into a much more useful "multi-plug controller".

What's wrong with 7am to 10pm?

I use the standard timers like everyone else.  One for blue, one for white.  Just like Mark said.

Also- I have used a coralife like Jackie said... it was great as well.
