".....What I cant understand is why a Mechanical time clock which will
switch lights(or other appliances) on or off wont work with florescent
lights....."

".......It will/does work, just that the contacts in a time switch don't
like the initial current surge, and can also ark when switching off. ....."
Sorry but wont work , and checking the pack says "Will not work with
Florescent lights"

and I wanted it for adding light to growing plants on the propagating bench
during the winter.
Which could be a fire hazard.
