Bro, which one do you mean? Those selling at Carrefour or the analogue timers itself?

I personally using analogue timers and they seemed okay to me. They are not bought from Carrefour, though.

Hmmm. carrefour, think not very reliable leh.

[qazwer]

They look exactly like any other analogue timers in the market. If you want, how about Ikea? Their socket are those of Japan / USA type ... (2 pins)

If you can wait, i will be having some units of MicroComputer Control Timer (with at leat 10 program setting). Picture as below:

Price around $40-$50 range and it is industrial grade.

Lost the picture now, will get to you once I have it.

Wiht the flexible control, now you can set as weekly, daily, weekday or weekend with difference timing!! you are welcome to visit me at Tampines.

Might as well go for the German made ones?! Very good and reliable...

Haha.. I 100% support this statement. I gave up those analogue timer, just no luck with them. I even built 4 control timer with ELCB that cost more than $400 with Germany timers!

Just to set the right contact, a 250W MH light can have a startup that runs at more than 2A current. this means at more than 600W. you can feel the relay contact is warm!!

I know for most of you, the reply will be no issue and runs for many year. But I just have no luck on those analogue timer.

Bro,

go mustafa, they do carry a digital timer with 32 selective timing/date. quite good. best of all... it cost less than $20.00

Cheers

I myself is using a analogue one. This timing seems to be offset. Initially set at 11pm to off lighthings but now, close to 12 then it will off. got to adjust again

I use this digital timer, so far power failure twice but battery backup (changable) still good. No problem like the analogue type. Cost abt $30.

at $30, may be good to relook at those industrial grade version.

Cheers!

let me take back my statement, my cheap and "good" timer just failed me....
