Need help with my new LED

KINGROWLAND1217 · Jan 19, 2015

Im not sure if anyone can help me, but I just bought the Aquamana 165w dimmable full spectrum LED off of amazon. I am trying to figure out how to control the 2 channels on different timers. It has 2 knobs, 1 controls the blue(night) and the other controls the others(day). It came with 1 power cord, a standard computer type power cord. But it also has 2 "universal female plugs" that looks like it can be used to control the 2 channels seperately. The problem is I cant find a double ended male power cord that I can plug into both the light and the wall. If anyone has this light please help if you have found a solution to this. I have another LED that is VERY similar except it came with 2 power cords and has 2 plugs to control each channel separately. The picture is of the 2 female plugs on top of the LED.Basically I need to figure out how to get a cord or timer for these plugs right here. Thanks.... BTW I really like how it looks and Im happy with my purchase so dont bash me for buying it lol. I appreciate anybody that has any ideas or has done it before

You should have 2 power cables with it. The extra plugs are for daisy chaining the power across several fixtures. You just need standard pc power cords for this no weird double headed ones. They just plug top to bottom on down the chain. That make sense? Thinking you're down a cord is your issue.

You don't use those plugs, you just use the other set. That set is for the 220v plugs, I believe the oversees plugs.

Yea, the instructions that came with the light said it should have 2 but it only came with one and that fits another plug that uses just a regular cpu power chord. The daisy chaining makes alot of since, that is probably exactly what they are used for. I was hoping the plugs would enable me to put the 2 separate channels on different manual timers that i have, so I can control when the night and day lights turn on and off. Any ideas on how I can still possibly do that? The light does have 2 switches to turn them on and off separately. Thanks alot for taking the time to answer me,I am sure I will have many more questions lol. Thanks
