Is it any good? I want something to turn on fluorscents at 11 am, then MH at 12 them MH off at 19 them fluorscents off at 22, thenmoonlights on from 22 to 4am. Can be done with this or I should just buy separate timers?

I never see it in person, but from the web site's description, you will need three of them....all four switched outlet are controlled by the same on/off motorized switch. I will get 3 separate appliance timer instead.

You won't be able to get the dawn to dusk effect from just the Power Center's night/day outlets. You'll need at least one more timer. Since you'll need 3 timed outlets anyway, you could have the flourescents timed by the day (yellow) outlet, and the moonlights timed by the night (blue) outlet. Then, just buy one timer for the MH which can be attached to one of the Power Center's constant outlets.

Only difference is that the moonlights will run until the flourescents turn on.

Don't buy it from Big Al's, it's a lot cheaper at http://petsolutions.com/product.asp?pn=96301690.

hmmm ... I guess I'll go with 3 timers then. Ah, and big Al was just for example. I buy most of the stuff from Canadian suppliers. I fond it for 24.99CAD.

three $5 timers from walmart would be cheaper, just make sure that anything you buy is rated for enough watts for your MH
