There are 2 types, 1 manual one (24hr timer) and 1 digital timer. Of course digital one more expensive but more options. For manual one can get it cheaper and since works for 24 hrs, no problem for most people (like me)

Agree with eddyq. The German one costs around $19.

TheBen timers can be bought at $16 from SLT. Some lighting shops cannot remember the name. The shop displays lots of PL and T5 tubes in the glass cabinets

I got mine from NTUC for less than $10(manual), works fine for about a year now. You might want check out your regular NTUC store.

I remember reading somewhere that not all kinds of timers can be used for everything... Is that true?

Are they T5HO? If it is, then the T5 users will have another option to choose from...

I remembered the name, or rather part of the name, of the shop in SLT. Its Sinter something

I like theben one cos it doesn't take up too much space.
