Can I use these with a timer? I am using them to grow tomatos indoors.

I don't see why not. If you're simply turning them on/off once per day, that's normal usage.

Sorry, I have never grown tomatoes or any other type of plant so I wouldn't know if this type of lighting would work for that purpose.

I have never tried it, but see no reason you can't---just set Timer-1 at 4hrs.----T2 at 8hrs.----T3 at 12 hrs----all 4 timers are seperately controlled---this timer has worked great for me, hope this helps.

Yrs you can. Just make sure that you connect the correct sizes to make sure you get the flow you need. I currently have three systems in one with a single timer.

No, they do not have a timer. The switch is an on/off. The taller ones I purchased do have a timer.

it won't work with a timer. The reason is that you switch fan modes by turning the wall switch on then off then on. The default mode when you turn it on is the humidity mode. The humidity sensor mode is great because it will run variable speeds until the humidity is below 50-60%. The fan is very quiet so I have no problem just leaving it on full for hours. it also uses very little power so quite efficient.

Yes you can - just the push of a button overrides the timers. With another push, the timers are back on without having to reset them. Just make sure you don't throw the instructions away if you don't use them every day, so you can remind yourself how it works if you forget. These are amazing timers!

No they do not have a timer.. You have to use the on/off switch on the bottom.

You can use your own timer, the one that comes from the company isn't necessary. I replaced my timer with a much more compact model that can be hidden from view better. :D

Yes. I have these timers for several years for everything from Chirstmas Lights to turning on interior lights while away on vacation. Excellent quality.

These are standard spiral cfls. They are immediate on/off lights. I would have to say that they should probably work fine with a timer as I can't think of any reason that they would not. No, I haven't actually used them this way, but with my understanding of electricity and how it would work, I can't see any issues with it. The timer should do no more than open up the flow of electricity to the bulb when the timer turns on and then restricts the flow of electricity when the timer goes off, so there should be no issues with them whatsoever. I hope this helps.

Yes.... I would say not to waste your money on these. They do not hold up tomato plants very well plus they cracked so it wasn't holding the water in the tray. But your experience may be a different one.

My light stays on most of the time... I haven't tried it on a timer though. I don't see why it wouldn't work with a timer.

The unit I bought has little pin-like lever switches around the dial. Slide them in or out for on or off. I they are settable in 15 minute intervals - I am very happy with the unit I bought to control lights for starting flower seeds earlier this year.

I haven't used it in conjunction with a timer but it does work with a dusl til dawn sensor so I would assume that it would work with a timer as well as long as the fixture is compatible with the bulb itself.

nope you can strobe these lights if you wanted to. And the lights themselves take maybe 20 seconds to reach peak output and depending what you use them for. For example I use them for my house plants and starting my vegetable seeds and I have to have sunglasses on while working with them on. Hope that helps

I did not do this, but I see no reason why not. I did plug mine in to a timer as there was no way to shut them off until sunrise (other than unplugging or a switch. A dimmer should work fine. These are worth their weight in gold for quality, ease of install, consistency of quality and design.

Yes, I used them outside but they didn't last long. The timers don't work indoors or outdoors and the batteries did not last either. Sorry I ordered them, I was surprised because the reviews were good. Hope you have better luck.
