Jesus another way hydro stores rape you. Go to walmart and get one for 5 bucks. I've been using 3 for forever from there.

I bought several of these when I was still using 400w lights. It will even handle 1 1K light. This is the exact same timer being sold at the local hydro store for $24. Harbor Freight Tools.

It wont take heavy amperage draws well, Smokey is right on that one, but for an inexpensive solution it works. I bought 8 and only one crapped on me, and they replaced it free.

no matter what you pay for it be sure its a 3-prong type, incase you ever get a ground in your lighting sytem or w/e you are timing, saving a couple buks isnt worth getting shocked.

I guess i got so used to ordering from hydro shops online because for so many years i was dependent on mail order, Being about 3 hours in the hilltops. Now living in a more urban area a i have been tending to shop local. And also i like to give examples, to steer growers in the right direction , although i realize whatever i give as an example there is gonna be others (at least one for sure) that it will offend and get there panties in a bunch.

buy w/e products from w/e you want, i'm not a salesmen, just here to help.
