Lighting on timers???

[thefishdude]

Wondering if the majority of people have their lighting on timers.

I would kinda like to set it up so that one set of lights goes out at whatever time at night. Then the high intensity blue led "night lights" would come on for an hour or two and then the whole cycle would start again in the morning.

Anyone use automation or is that just way out there. I've seen them advertised before, but can't remember where right now.

Any perferred brands??

I use timers for all my lights to ensure regular lighting hours for the fishes. I plug a bank of flourescent lignts into a power bar which goes into a 3 to two prong adapter (from the $ store) and then into a $6 timer (2 prong as the 3 prong ones are about $15). The ground isn't needed as the lights are all two prong (no ground). Two timers would do you for your day and night lighting.
