Good Digital Timer
 

Looks good. But whats the price? If its good, may wanna get some. :p

The price may be high but it worth buying cos u can have a peace of mind . This is a German brand if i not wrong. Many of my Kakis using this timer and they are very happy with it.;)

Where can i get them? :)

U can get it from Home-fix store in IKEA or Aquamart.;)

U got any idea if the Home fix at IMM has it? hee.
Thanks!

Maybe u can try give them a call , the brand of the timer is DIEHL and there is 2 model for the digital one ( get the weekly model ).;)

Oggies. Thanks a lot bro. :p

I am one of the happy and satisfied user of this timer ... :p

Had tried many other in the market and most of them failed on 250W MH.:(

I'm another one, no regret even the price is on the high side;)

I too am a satisfied user :cool:

weekly model as in u need to program it every week ?

U only program it once.;)

Even the analog one is good..with my E-Ballast(250W)...I will need this one too...I want to program Sat and Sun got longer photo-period.. :p
simulate day-light saving..haa..

Thanks for the info... I'll go searching :p

Haha so wana place order?:p

When? :p

*Remember the thermometer too* :p

hmm.. care to tell how high is the price?

If I am not wrong you're looking at between $40 and $30 dollars for this reliable digital timer. ;)

This is probably the best timer among those in the market. Sadly mine(DIEHL) just failed recently which last me for 1.5 yrs. The first one I used(other brand) failed after a week, flume of smoke coming out from the time which really startled me. I was lucky enough to be at home if not a fire might me started just like that. 2nd time I got the same brand & it failed again on reliability issue! At last I switch to DIEHL though it failed after 1.5 yrs, I still believe that it’s the best timer so far, ;) so I got DIEHL again! I’m very unlucky to have 3 timers failed within a short period of time, it really hurts my pockets! :mad: All of them cost between $30-$40.

Use an external relay to wire-up your MH.
timer should last when wire-up this way.

Can someone tell me where can this timer? Went IKEA but boh leh...
Where got best price?

U try Aquamart.;)

I am using those cheapo type but so far ok leh.
I think all is more then 2 years liao

i have killed 4 timers over 18mths for my 2x250s
now i have to get my maid to manually on/off...
my T5 time is still working fine.....
installing a relay will be a gd solution

If you want to have a good timer .. get the Diehl German timer.

how much is it ?

About $38 to $40 depending where you buy it from.

250 MH right.MH is drawing in very high current.
Those timer contact cannot take the high current loading.
To improve your timer life it is good to add a relay or contactor
Choose a relay or timer that can take the MH current loading

Regards

Finally i get to know where to buy a good digital timer
Thanks For all the info here:D

Bought mine from toyogo using for 6mth still in mint condition and it's only 18 dollar with daily individual timer

I use before from toyogo and used on my mh 2x 250w although the 3rd mh is seldom on. realize the trick to keep it last longer is to stagger one or two min before the next mh lights up... Will it does last me for quite a while after experiencing faulty timer before. I want to try the soundtech next round... Duno how reliable not.
