So when my family room flooded a couple weeks ago, it took out my powerstip with my times for my T5 (3 cord) fixture. All the timers went out as well. I was turning them on and off manually until I had the chance to get a timer.

Long story short, I go to Lowes and find an 8 outlet Powerstrip with the abilty to have 4 timer outlet and 4 always on outlets (see attached link).

I must be losing my mind as I thought this was as simple as it gets without all those bulky timers you have to buy and program for each power cord.

Directly out of the box I see the left side is for timers and the right for always on. I program the timer but, here is where I lost it; it does not tell you which outlet on the left side is for what timer. So, I set them for the 3 cords, turn it on, plug in the cords, put it in auto mode, and I got squat, Lol. So I can't figure this out. I should have looked at this more closely before buying it, but it looked like a no-brainer.

I sent an email to the company but won't hear from them until Monday possibly. Can anyone make this out? Or do I still need my bulky timers?

Thanks guys and gals,

Hit mode until it says auto? Light fixture switches are on? You have the program on the right day and time that it currently is(or whatever time frame you're trying to test for)

Sure will teach me is right Brandon.

I just thought by now someone had come up with a way to get rid of those bulky timers, guess not.
