I finally broke down and went to led. I was looking at a 6 bulb change and for the extra I figured why not.

So I ordered the timer unit from the group buy on fb.

shipping: ordered Friday and they arrived today.
Cost: $133usd shipped to your door and $32can border charge.
Packing: very nicely packaged, very secure in foam and the box was taped to the hilt.
Light: 3 channel - whites, blue and moon.
Timer: very easy to program. Only down fall is that you have to put in 4 times per channel setting.
Fans: I find them loud as its in my living room.
Dimmers: twin dials with no markings.

I will update this as time goes on with growth and coral advancements.

The built in timer will definitely save some PowerBar space. Hopefully it holds memory on power loss. I know you just spend a lot of time programming them, but might be worth unplugging one for 5 minutes then plug it in to check.

I never even thought of memory. I will try it tomorrow, as far as time to program it was literally 2 minutes.

why are you calling it a shitbox, doesn't sound too bad...how many (units)did you get for the money..
That's what everybody calls them because they are Chinese no name. I got 2 units for about $360can
