    GH, Di ba nakakasira ng ref yang practice na yan? So you do that daily on that timeframe?

    Done daily by the timer. Ref is running fine. Just toasted one timer about over a month ago.

    based on what I measured at our office, your tree should have two sets of 100s bulbs.

    Just bought 1 today.

    Patulong lang- di ko maintindihan yung reading ng "Power Cost". Kasi 2 reading ang lumalabas, una 3 digits na may decimal (x.xx), tapos magiging 1 digit whole number (x).

    Tapos ano ba ibig sabihin ng RT/Ratio of operation?

    Di kasi masyado detalyado ang manual.
    Thanks!

    thanks!

    Simplest way is to plug your table or floor lamps to the timer. If some lamps are near to each other, you can use an extension cord to connect two or more lamps to a single timer.

    If you want to "timer" fixed lighting, you'll need to rewire those lights with an electric plug (and electric socket) at the electric breaker box. This is what we did for our office security lights.

    CFLs with photosensor simply means it would be lit the entire night. Great if you want to leave the light on all night but for those who want it turned on for a few hours a night, the timer solution would be better.

    ^^ Yung bang plug in lang sa outlet na energy saving device? I think its more of a capacitor than a real energy saving device.

    It is just a capacitor. Useful only if you have electric motor loads.... but who has low efficiency motor loads anymore (unless you own antique electric fans)? Useless product.
