Auto timers that quit on you

[dabgood21]

This may seem like a weird problem but it keeps happening and I don't know why.

I've always used a basic auto timer for my lights, just like one you'd buy for a lamp. Recently, they haven't been working. I just bought a new one, it worked for a few days and stopped. When they cycle through, you hear the click (to turn off or on) but nothing happens. The lights are connected through a small adapter so I can fit both Actinic PC bulbs. Could that be a problem? I couldn't imagine so but I'm exploring all options. My MH bulbs are hooked up to a digital timer and work fine. I guess I'll have to buy another digital for the PCs.

Has anyone else had this problem.

You should be fine as long as the two PC's don't total more than the time can handle. Intermatic brand timers are typically rated for 15 amp. I highly doubt your PC's are pushing that much amperage.

I've had problems with the Intermatic Digital timers too. The Intermatic Manual Timers have worked much better for me.
