One way to control lights

[ladyslipper]

Sorry John, this isn't specifically a reply to you but its pretty much on the topic I am wanting input on. Your relay timer is pretty spiffy, but my grow area is way too small to warrent such a thing.

Would anyone know where I can get a timer that I can turn lights on and off (so two times a day) and also turn a small fan on and off several times a day. I'd like to turn my little fan on for maybe 15 minutes every 3 hours.

I am in Canada so any Canadian opinions would be most gratefully received (although any opinions are of course appreciated).

Regards, m

I think this MistKing*::*Misting Accessories*::*Repeat Cycle Timer with a applience timer might do the trick.

Hi Ross, so to clarify a person would have to buy both the repeat cycle timer and an appliance timer?

Yes. Maybe more than one appliance timer. I have the repeat cycle timer plugged into one appliance timer. The appliance timer is set for 12 hours (right now) and I run the lights, a fan set to cool the lights and the repeat cycle timer from that. So the lights and cooling fan stay on for 12 hours, the repeat cycle timer cycles for the 12 hours. The whole thing shuts off at night - lights, fan and mist. Then I have a second timer set to turn on a thru-wall fan to ventilate the tank for 3-4 hours during dark period.

Hi Buds...The relay is called Zelio and is distributed by Square D in the states. These relays are used for controlling machines, building lights, heating/cooling systems and even greenhouses. If you Google Zelio, you can get more info. There are also other companies that make a similar product. John
