I’m having trouble with timers controlling lighting. What timer seems to be most reliable?

I've only used two different times and both are just the mechanical 24 hour type the first link I have two of one has never had a problem the original one I bought would lose like 8-10 minutes a week. The second link I bought to make things a little cleaner in the tent I just bought it makes it easier for me and so far no problems at all.

I recommend a old school analog timer bc they’re reliable. The brand isn’t important. My advice is to stay away from digital timersIn veg under SP150

I use this one. It is digital, easy to program, inexpensive, rated for outdoor use, and ETL certified.

I cant get to the brond on the first one, it cost $5 more than the second, came with a manual. The second I got at Skunk Grow for under $20, no manual, only name on it is "Grow" First one is inside the other in outside on the hen house.Comment

Cheap timer from Walmart. My digital timer I think was apollo something caught fire after little Over year use. I got lucky I prop the power strip on a metal table and nothing caught fire. Power strip was still on and lights were still on but super dim. You could see scorcher all over power strip and timer.Comment

I use a smart power strip from KASA

It allows great timer control for each individual plug plus allows you to see exactly how much power is being drawn through each plug. Since it will connect wirelessly to your home WiFi, it knows exactly what time it is. If there is ever a power outage it will retain all the timer settings and keep the light schedule as you want it when the power is restored. 😁Over 30 yrs of back pain management without ever having a pharmacist give me a bottle of pills.

I've used the electronic and the analog. By far better results with the analog. Any type that has the tabs you pop up/down to control on/off. Pro Tip: Have a spare. Seriously. All this shit breaks.Space: 4 x 5 x 6, Two 600w HPS, Dirt farmer since Nov 2012.
