Haha ok, this is a dumb question but here it goes. How do i get my actinic lights to go on 1 hour before my halides and one hour after the halides using this timer. Im kinda confused and dont know how to do the settings. Thanks.... Oh by the way, I have the one with the single timer not the dual or digital.

I was thinking of doing the same thing! I plan on using two different timers and at night a moonlight.

Basically with that timer you have (2) modes for the lights...

Only one of the colors is on at any one time... The white are always
on. (from memory...had one of those long ago)

So blue on = yellow off....

ah that sucks...so I cant run them individually and then at the same time?

dbjohnso · 12-17-2006, 12:28 AM

I could be wrong...

dbjohnso · 12-17-2006, 12:30 AM

Whatever is plugged in to the color outlets is either ON or OFF depending on the time window... Both colors can not be on at the same time from what I remember.... Unless they have changed that model....

I'll wait to if anyone else has any better feedback.... It's been a while for me.

I just checked coralifes site...IF you have the new digital model you
can still do what you need.... I just don't know how to tell you because Ive never used that model...

Good luck either way!

F.Y.I. That is the one they had trouble catching on fire.

Mine failed as well. It quit keeping time and then would just stick when it got to the time pins. I switched to outdoor timers after that.
