Hi bros,

does anyone have an idea where i could get a programmable timer ala extension plug.

Comes in the form of an extension plug but the programmable timer is integrated and timing can be set digitally.

Im looking at about 4-5 Sockets.

Reason being, im tired of the looks and quality of extension plugs with cheapo inaccurate timer lying beside the tank.

It gives the tank a more proffesional look as well :)

I found a similar product at fish-street.

but it only comes in 3 socket form.

hey bro terryz!

i remember visiting one of the member's house and his whole electric system is controlled by a digital timer.

i think i will need to acquire some electric knowledge and dozens of electric trips and blackout to achieve that.

need to visit Sim Lim Tower one day.. :/

GHL ProfiLux light II got 4 sockets but Ex :groupwavereversed: .

way out of my shallow ns budget.. :blink:

maybe i will try to order one from fish-street and try it out.

as now i only need 3 sockets (Main tank, Refuge, Moonlight)..

but it would be cool to have total control of all electric appliances

Those are like a circuit board where you will connect your equipment wires to the switch... And the timer switch is not cheap from what i remember years back when I researched on it (Halfway).. But it will not trip your whole house if one of the equipment trip...

Lorenzo not keeping lor... He keeping his car.. LOL...

I just received my timer from hongkong...

cost me total less than 4 red notes (including shipping)

it is a great product..

Advantage:

- Timing is accurate as it is digital

- No more messy looks of big bulky timer jutting out of the electric socket..

- Allows individual Monday Tues Wed Thu Fri Sat Sun timing (eg Mon Timer 1 one, Tue Timer 2 on, Wed Timer 1 & 2 off Timer 3 on)

Disadvantage:

- If u want to on a particular light, you have to switch on all the light and overright the timing.. (the timer will then adjust accordingly for the next event)

From Fish Street???

Mine from Fish-street recently went kuku.

The first socket won't turn on although the red LED on the socket is lit. I need to manually do a all on, auto , then it will turn on.

I contacted Fish-street and they say they will send me a replacement :)... Still waiting....
