Timers?

[s050399b]

i have a $10 Timer, I set it to 12 hours on, 12 hours off, after 2 days, it can't switch off,

Could someone advise?

Or better brands? Where to buy? How much?


Thanks!

i think i probably need a digital timer, i'm running the fish lights on, but they can't switch it off after 2 days!!

i didn't left it at manual override lar, it's running fine for 2 days........3rd day cannot switch off,

why not just get the Theben timers (around $20 i believe)? I have been using my three units for years with no problem.

does not matter if it's a digital or analog timer.
should be a quality related problem for your timer.
bring it back to the shop where you bought it.

Can't you just visit or call your LFS or nearby hardware shops??? Don't be so lazy!

Friend,
I use Legrand at S$19 for 4 yrs without any problem.
Mine handle 250 watts lighting.
