Habitat - Indoor :: Lighting Timers

[MikeMagic]

I've heard Wal-Mart is a good place to pick up timers for your lights. I'm just wondering where in the store they are. I'm assuming hardware but figured I'd ask on here because the people in the Wal-Mart up by my school seem to just guess and send me on my way...

I'm not sure about Wal-Mart, but anywhere else i've gotten them they've been with the extension cords and power strips and such.

Yeah, check out the hardware section. As Oct said, they're near extension cords and stuff. You can also find them at Rona for about the same price.

This is what I use for all my setups including Niko's, cost is excellent.

Ya they work great, you just need to check the clock about once a week to make sure the "main / displayed" time is right. I thinbk mine runs a bit off but thats a given with anything that has a clock, other that that all but minor maintenance these are the BEST thing yo ucan get timer wise.

[Daniel3507]

yeah mine runs a little fast but its not enough that it really makes a difference. i may adjust it once every few months

That's interesting... I was just looking for a digital timer to replace mine with. That's not a bad price, except with the exchange rate and shipping, it'd cost an arm and a leg to get it up to Canada
