Coralife timer powerbars?

[Ticketyboo]

I bought the coralife timer that controls 3 lights from a LFS. I had it linked to my coralife lights that have three plugs... white lights, actnics, and the leds... i thought this would be the best combination seeing as they were both the same manufacturer... That was the only input going into my powerbar, so well within power consumption rating.

I woke up the next morning to a banging on my door from my guest, and the power bar was sparking and he states that there was a blue flame comming from the power bar.

I turned everything off and it it partly melted and burned my carpet, i took it to the store where i bought it only a day or so ago and was offered a replacement...... i dont think so.... The potential could have been a disaster.... burned carpet, fish tank, the lot....

Took me a bit to trust timers again, but i have 2 heavy duty timers on my MH lights now and work great, ontop of my building a dedicated cabinet for electrical supplies away from the tank and in an enclosed area with fan for heat aeration.
