the plug outlets just fried and melted...everything that was plugged into them was fine other than having blackened the plugs themselves. nothing some emery cloth couldn't fix but kinda scary. thought i would try one again and a few months later, same thing!

other thing i had issues with these was that sometimes they would miss switching lights off or on. not that big of a deal unless you're not around for a few days or so...not very reliable unfortunately. i'm speaking of the analog ones, not sure about the digital.

For the DJ/ Chav units - is there room for timers? I also saw a large PB as Murray described at Home Depot. It was in the electrical section that has plastic covers for hiding wires along walls and such. Probably about 6" between plugs @ 39.99

I've got a couple of the Coralife bars. What I like about 'em is the built in timers they have. What I don't like about 'em is the short cord they have.

Oh ya. Then there's that little fire risk thing. Not good.

Anyone know of a good quality powerbar with built in timers?

Thanx much,
