Hello,

What are some of the recommended automatic timers that control the times when lights come on and off?

Thank you,

The cheapest one you can find haha.

They all work the same really. I've never had an issue with the 6 dollar timers Ive bought over the years.

Yeah the cheap mechanical timers are fine. I use the grounded ones that have dual outlets so I can control multiple lights with the same switch if I want to.

I plug my power strip into my single timer so that I can control all of the lights with the single timer.

Do you have a 24 hour or 7 day timer?
The 24 hour timer will work on same settings everyday of the week automatically?
For example if you want the lights to turn on 8 am and off 8 pm everyday, a 24 hour timer will automatically do this 7 days/week?

Correct. :)
You'd only need a 7 day timer if you wanted the lights to come on at different times depending on the day.

Getting ready for another day. Feeling sleepy. 😴
I just walked into my room and instead of looking at me, Swordtail's eyes darted directly to the ice cream drumstick I'm holding

What is a quick way to warm up a cold beardie? His heating element went out overnight and now he's very cold.
