lighting timers

[Spcoley1]

Can anyone recommend a lighting control that will turn on and off 3 different lights at different times? Im trying to simulate a sunset/sunrise effect with LED lighting and a moon light at night.

I would try to find a used reefkeeper lite.

Just found this, relatively cheap and has 4 timed and 4 standard outlets. The reviews for it aren't too shabby either. Check it out!

I do not have that myself, I just did a little internet surfing and came across it to recommend it for Spcoley1. Sorry to disappoint!

It wont work

I have the same one, the 4 timed outlets cannot be programed individually all 4 are connected together. Save the hassle and grab a reef keeper lite.

Just go to lowes and get individual outlet timers, they are around $12 each for mechanical and a little more for digital. The mechanical will work great for what you're doing.

The second after I posted that, I wondered if that was the case. Sorry for any confusion, and I hope you find something that works out for you.

If you get a individual timers it will cost about $45 for three digital units. A used RKL for $75 will control the lights and still gave a free outlet.

I forgot to mention, most individual outlet timers actually have two outlets on them (at least mine do). So if you have two things (two power cords) on the same schedule then you only need one timer, which is a plus.

I have an apex, but for what you are doing you only need timers.
