where to buy Diehl Power Timer?

[vratenza]

Where can I find the Diehl Power timer (weekly) in Singapore at reasonable price?

Thanks!

Found it at Home-fix........later found that I could have gotten it cheaper by $2. I saw some at Sim Lim Tower selling cheaper....

Hahaha..never mind... post it here for the benefit of others looking for this timer.

what's so good about this timer compare to other electronic timer besides the price?

The price is not a plus point

The benefit of this is that it can handle higer electrical load devices such as MH lights/Large T5HO setups. These setups have been known to cause the metal contact points in the timers to melt due to the high load (high heat) during the intence that the power source is being activated.

bro vratenza, it will not melt, just will reset its settings caused by the high current surge during startup. I had the problem last time due to putting 2x150w and solenoid together with the timer. So switched to diel. Forgot to tell you in my pm reply when you asked me where to buy diel that 70w is very safe to use with any timer. No need to buy it. Anyway, its a good timer.

I read in another thread that a bro had problem using his T5HO on theben timer...he changed it a few times and was told by the manufacturer that the problem is due to the higer powersurge and it fused some contacts in the timer. Anyway, I bought the timer as a precautionary measure
