APC P6GC 6 Outlet/120V Power-Saving Timer Essential SurgeArrest with 3ft Cord Review

I bought this for one of my aquariums to have the light turn on and off automatically. Programming wasn't difficult and I didn't experience any resets. But the reason for the 3 stars is that I think my unit might be faulty as it seems to be causing an intermittent surge of electricity which causes the tank lights to flash briefly every 10 seconds when in off mode. This doesn't turn the light on fully, but rather a smaller flash-like burst. It's not very noticeable when the lights are on in the…

The PRO'STimer function saves electricity on 5 out of 6 sockets. You can use up to 6 on/off timers. You can set which days the timer runs.

I find this very handy, especially when I'm out of the office during the day and forget to turn off the monitor, the programmed surge protector kicks in at the specified time like everything else. Users must first program the current time and day for any schedules they enter…

I have some plants at work and unfortunately I'm not at the window. (Hooray for booth mazes.) So I have some LED grow lights to help my plants. I have been looking for single and dual socket timers to make my life easier and to help my plants on the weekends.
