Single Timer With Different Settings?

[SlyPolak]

Ok, so I was shopping around today but I cants seem to find this kind of timer. ( If one exists )
I am looking for a digital timer that has 2 plugs BUT I need it to be able to turn one off and the not the other at the same time... I guess what I am looking for is a timer for my day and night lights. So where the normal lights wiil be on and when those go off I want the moonlights to kick in for a few hours... The only thing I can find so far is two seperate timers.......

There's one called the "Zilla Digital Power Center". It's just that exact thing, it's a power strip and a timer with two day plugins, two night plugins, and four always on plugins. I've seen it, but I've never used it.

Thanks for the reply, but that is ALMOST what I am looking for. The only problem with this Zilla timer is that they alternate with on/off... but I need the timer for the moonlight to be on for only a couple of hours not all night, and if I set it for only a couple of hours the day timer will kick in............

I'm not sure this fits your bill but have you considered using both outlets on the wall, each with their own timer? I know that typical "intermatic" type times won't share a wall outlet, too big, but you can get very short extension cords at a computer store that will allow you to plug in the timers and rest them on the floor.

The extension cords I am referring to are about 8" long and were originally designed to help you plug in those big brick AC plugs into the closely spaced outlets on power strip. You could also achieve the same effect by plugging the short cords into your existing power strip and laying the timers next to the strip. In fact, I think the power strip option is better.

I might be able to find them online if you want. This is not the prettiest solution but it would work if your cords/outlet are hidden.

You might be able to use these creatively as well: http/www.improvementscatalog.com/product/digital-light-timers.do

That's what I was originally planning on doing ( and probably will end up doing ) but I just wanted to see if I could find a single timer for my needs. I know im just going to end up plugging in 2 different digital timers ( $6 each at wally world ) into my powerstrip.... I like the "Zilla" strip it just sucks that you can't have seperate timers for both day and night.............


And thanks for the link but those only take 2 prong plugs but I need one that will take a ground also because thats whats on my moonlight LED's... Would be great tho

I saw zilla also has a "24/7 Dual Analog Timer Power Center". It seems to have two dials with day/night cycles independent of each other. Pretty expensive though
