Overview
Timing aquarium lights, grow lamps and holiday decorations is the point of this strip. Four outlets follow a mechanical daily timer, and four stay always on for devices that must not be switched.
One strip covers both timed and constant loads, with an on/off switch and an ETL listing. The title and the spec sheet disagree on the current rating, and no joule figure is given.
Who it's for
Aquarium keepers, plant growers and holiday decorators who want a plug-in timer built into a strip. Buyers who need precise programming should look at a digital timer.
Pros and cons
- Timer on four outlets
- Four outlets always powered
- Daily repeat schedule
- Surge energy not listed
- Current rating conflicts in the listing
- Mechanical timer is less precise
Performance notes
A mechanical timer switches the four timed outlets on a repeating daily cycle you set with pins or tabs. The always-on outlets are separate from the timer. Load limits follow the rating, so check the label before plugging in heavy devices.
