Swylite LST200+-I Dual Event Digital In-Wall Timer Switch with Backlight, Ivory Review

I purchase two of the LST200 models a few months ago and am extremely pleased. Works very well. It is nice to have a variable timer -- you set an on and off time and each day it varies 10 minutes around that on and off time to make it appear as though you are home. Installation was easy and all the necessary parts were included (such as wire nuts).
Of note, the blue LCD display developed some bad crystals after 1 month of use in one of the devices (the other continues to work perfectly!). It functioned correctly, but the display was hard to read. I emailed the company and a replacement was sent the same day via priority mail with return postage paid.
The other advantage is that this device will run low-wattage lines. THIS IS DIFFERENT than other similar products that won't run low-wattage (e.g. lines that are hooked up to fluorescent lights). This WILL effectively run fluorescent lights on the line because it completely dampens the electricity in the line. Other products only reduce the voltage to the points where the lights just turn off. Not the case here. These are better.
It is rare these days to have such excellent customer service. This is a great product (I think the LCD problem was a fluke) and I highly recommmend it.

Power Center with Day-Night Timer - 8 Outlets Review

The power center wDay-Night Timer works just as detailed in the product description. It is easy to set-up. Since I got I don't need to worry about turning on and off my fish tank's pump, filter, thermostat and lighting. Actually I have programmed it to turn on and off the light and under gravel filter power head at intervals during the day and night (helping me to interrupt unwanted algae growth, giving some direct "light rest" to those species that like dim conditions and providing mild current to species that like it as well). I have plugged in the thermostat and my Whisper power filter in the constant power outlets so they work independently all day. My community fish tank inhabitants are happy and thriving. The only thing to care about is in case of electrical break downs, the clock has to be readjusted, which is very easy to do. I will definitely get another power center for our office fish tank. Good luck!

The Power Center is an easy-to-use 24 hour timer and 8-outlet indoor power strip in one convenient unit. It is an effective and efficient tool that makes aquarium and terrarium environments easier to manage. It can be used as a day-night timer or a wave-maker timer.This UL listed Power Center includes 4 timer-controlled outlets, 4 constant power outlets, a 24 hour mechanical timer with 15 minute setting intervals, alternate day-night cycle timer, a manual control switch, 3 ft. heavy duty power cord, sliding outlet safety covers, 3-prong grounded outlets and plug, and a 15 amp-120 volt (1875 watts maximum) circuit breaker. When the 2 daytime timer-controlled outlets are on, the 2 nighttime outlets are off. This feature allows you to control tank and terrarium environments with daylight, nightlight, heat source, moonlight and wave-maker applications. It can control 2 pairs of water pumps (total of 4 outlets) at alternating intervals of15 minutes or more to create a wave-maker application. The 2 sets of outlets will interchange between each other based on the timer setting. This wave-maker application creates a natural rhythm in your tank that replicates ocean tidal movements.
