Default Turn Light On/Off On Time

I want to use a cheap device to turn on light at 8 AM and turn off at 10 PM. Does anybody use it?. What is it and where to buy? Lazy man, hihihi.

Just get an appliance timer from Home Depot or Lowes.

I don't do most Dendros or large, "floofy orchids". For me it's minis (like Angraecoides), Paphs, and others that crept in somewhere along the line. See my orchid list for complete collection (usually not current.)

I use a timer from the my local pet store like Petco and you push the pins down for the time duration you want the lights on or off. It's pretty simple and only costs 9.99!

I use regular appliance timers from Wal Mart for only a few dollars. Cheap and works well. Good luck!
