I keep my lights on a timer , how does that work with this light , are there seperate plugs for the moonlight and the regular light switch?

There are not separate plugs. You cannot change the light setting with this fixture set to a timer. It either has to be set to regular light or moonlight. This is one of the cons to with this fixture. H

No there isn't. It is a switch for it. Google adding a timer to it and there are guides on adding one. Or go with a satellite plus they have timers I believe.

No, the light only has one plug. It has two separate switches; one for the daylights, one for the moonlights.

only one plug or power cord, It has a rocker switch at both ends one for lighting and the other end is the moon. I manually turn the light off when I go to bed and leave the moon on for looks. I really like this light when I have both on the blue in the moon brings the blue color out of my rainbows. By the way this light replace my old Coralife compact. I ran 1 50/50 and 1 6500 bulbs. I am using 2 of these lights on a 55 gal. Hope this helps with your question. Gary

There are not separate plugs for the moonlight... I wish there was!! But other than that it is a great light. so I don't use the moonlight.

No there's one plug two switches on the light bar itself one switch for moonlight and the other for light. Both can be active simultaneously so in my opinion a simple plug and play timer would not work correctly for turning off light then turning on moonlight and vice versa

It is a standard dual light fixture that may be run off of a switch is you desire that kind of control. It has a third hole (plugged by default) between the two lights where a light sensor can be wired in, and then it stays on when it is dark outside. The same third hole could also accommodate a motion detector, and then whatever kind of motion detector you select would control the lights.

I realized that actually this is not the switch to use for LED (or CCFL) light bulbs. The light will not turn on fully nor will it turn off fully either -- the light just stays on continuously but dimmer. And the "on" setting is not as bright either. I used the Intermatic ST01 timer switch instead, which is an astronomic timer plus is designed for low wattage lights like LEDs, which works great with it.

That depends on if you want to use the moon light or not.. yes a timer will turn the light on and off, but both lights are controlled by a single switch so the timer will only control whichever light is turned on.There IS a way to bypass the switch and use two timers but that requires some decent electrical knowledge and another identical 12 volt transformer.That being said, it's a real nice light. I've got mine on a 90 gal and it's great, I highly recommend it.Anymore questions, email me jb.jasonbeck@Gmail.com and I'll be happy to answer if I can..

I'm not too sure what you mean by let it stay lit. With this setup you would probably be better off using a speed light and they ll will go off as you trigger them.

I used a timer with my lights. It doesnt come with it. You will have to get one from your local hardware, home depot or lowes.

I have it on the same circut as the wall plug. I think you would have to run seperate wire for the switches to lights or whatever, but it sits nicely next to the plugs. common cover for them. Sounds like you have two switches now so this should work.

The moonlight should be on the "daylight" bulb. The on/off switch is off in the middle if you push down to one side gives you daylight and the other gives you moonlight. Hopefully this helps.

Push down tabs for the time you want the light to stay on. It's a very easy timer and are definitely better than the dual timers. I just plug a power strip in mine.

I just placed a timer on the power cords - I have one that accepts two plugs so both lights turn on and off at the same time.

Your Timer has Light Sensor as well Digital time program. This timer is done with Red and Green Pins the red for the time you want the lights to go off and the green for your lights to come on. I have both and prefer the Pin Timer

The light we bought is not wired to a light switch. It is wired to an extension cord, wrapped in black electrical tape at the point of connection, then ran along the garage ceiling to the outlet in the ceiling. It turns on at dawn and off at dusk. If it's wired into a light switch, I don't know why you couldn't control it with that switch.

There is just a single timer built into this box. If you want different runs of lights to come on at different times you will need more than one transformer I believe. Depending on the wattage of lights on each run, you might be able to use a smaller, less expensive box. Hope this helps.

Are there lights hooked up and do they work when you turn the timer to the on position? If the lights don't turn on and the timer doesn't turn it's probably busted. May have taken a power surge from a nearby lightning strike.

Hi Kim. There is an on off switch on the back of the light. I think you could plug it into a timer without a problem. Sounds like a great idea. Good luck!

The wiring would be ok-- the question I have is how the timing switch will or will not work to cut off the light. I do not know which light would control the time. My guess would be the first on activated. I would set them all for the longer time, I believe the timing went one minute, two minutes and five minutes.

Yes will work. Just the led moon light at night wont as its on the same cord.
