If it weren't for the vague instructions. I might recommend this multiplug timer. But it's taken me way too long to figure out how it works and to not touch the Auto/On/Off button.

But, if it works like it says it does. It may end up being a worthwhile product. Bought it from Ebay.

 

[Pistil Kid]

How much did you pay for the timer mate?

 

[Nugachino]

$70 for that particular model.

Digital timers do my head in (and yes i use one). Makes ya want to stomp on em.

I hope she gives u no grief Nugs, now its up and running.

 

[Nugachino]

It's 90% done. I need my exhaust fan and scrubber to arrive. I've got everything else. Technically. I mean I do have an exhaust fan in there. It's just noisy and piss weak.

 

[Nugachino]

I would've thought a digital timer would be less of a pain. No clicking. No mechanical parts to break. But no. You've got the fun of figuring out how to program them.

I used a timer u set yourself with moving the pieces to the times u want old school style for yrs...
Are they cheap crap or wat now cos I never had a problem with them back in the day

I've still got an old mechanical timer. Bought two new ones a few months ago. The old one still works. The new ones have already shat themselves. Kinda why I went looking at the digital ones.

I use mechanical the most expensive ones I can find.

Tried digital always fuck up after awhile.

 

[rayuki]

Can you recommend a good mechanical one then? I've gone through 6 now i just gave up gone to 24/7 on my lights lol. Spent probably over $100 now on these fucking timers. I'll pay another $100 if I have to if it's gonna fucking work since I'm expanding soon I'll need one i think

My old Arlec is still operating. That's two years old now. Bought two of the skinny HPM ones. They're shite.

 

[rayuki]

My arlec lasted the longest it was also my oldest. Had it for like 5 years and it lasted 8 days on the ballast. All the others from bunnings lasted about 2 days each
