Anyone use this? It's supposed to have 7 on/off settings on 4 outlets though none are labeled other than 2 day and 2 night. I am trying to set it so that my actinic turn on 2 hours before the MH light comes on then the MH turns off 2 hours before the actinic. All it does is turn both on at the same time then off same time. I've had this 3 weeks and it's really irritating! If you have one and can tell me what I'm doing wrong I would appreciate the feedback.

I have a few of them. the nights are off when the days are on and then the reverse. so your nightlights come on when your MH's turn off. you can have 7 difft settings as far as what time the days come on and go off, but there isnt a setting to have the nights come on prior to the days going off.

Did that make sense?

That did make sense but the lights I'm using I have on during the day only, none at night though I am ordering some night LEDs. So what you're saying is the timer will do both lights at the same time but turn them off and on all day if I want but at the same time? Who would do that with lights lol guess I need a second timer

You can then plug your night LEDs into the blue outlets so when the days go off the nights come on. Yes to do a 2nd set of lights for day you will need 2 timers

I have one of these dumbs things as well, I ended up plugging a single light timer into one of the yellow outlets, just so I can have my lights come on and off at different times.
