Timer For Tank Lights

[itsashrimpthing]

I currently have 2x tanks that I would like to fit with timers for the lights. Both have manual on/off switches. One has a switch attached to the cable and the other has the switch on top of the light housing (see photos below).



Would a timer still work on lights with these kind of on/off button switches?

Yes if they are wired the right way and are 12v ( which both of them should be )

Ive used a tc420 with about 10 different 12v light with smd type chips. I’m still use one now with a twinstar light

I used a Plug Timer, Digital Timer Plug Socket.



I got mine from Amazon (Link)

I use a smart plug for both of my tanks. Comes with an app that you can set on off times for.
