Thank you all for your reply's

I just happen to know about power,voltage and current, since I am an electrician . But thank you for your advice and concerns....

What I'm really looking for is websites that sell them.... Looking for a timer with multiple channels... Know of any???

I just might have to rig something up myself using a PLC (programmable logic controller) with a few power relays to do the job... Ebay sells used ones for around $150.... Programming them is not to difficult either (with the proper software)

Thanks again.

snap!

I tried prviously to find a local supplier for another member, but as i live in the UK i really did'nt know what i was looking for over on your side. you could have alook at 'newark in one' who have a huge range of electrical and electronic components. did you look at the link i posted? the futronix switch is a two channel timer with the ability to dim flourescent loads via a 0-10V control. if you are looking for more channels then you must have heard of Lutron who have the graphic eye range which go up to six channels, although it will start to get expensive if you add timer modules and 0-10V dimming interfaces. I believe the futronix switch is around ?145 over here which seems reasonable for what it can do. if you do not plan on dimming any of your lights then i cant see a simpler and cheaper method of switching then the drs foster and smith timer already linked to above.

i just checked the spec and the futronix switch i linked to does not do 0-10V aarrgggghh!! some of their others do though.
