timer for garden lights switch-on
I have some mains connected garden lanterns connected to an electric timer
to switch them on and off. as the time of nightfall changes through out the year, where could i find some list of nightfall times; so i could just reset the timer at the beginning of every month. thanks |

timer for garden lights switch-on
thanks to all. i did not want to reset the timer each day. is there some year long list so i could write down a time for say the beginning of each month and then reset it monthly. also is it dark at the given sunset time or should my lights go on for say an hour after sunset? since i really only want them to come on when its quite dark. thanks for any further advice. http://www.schoolsobservatory.org.uk...s/sunrs_yr.htm Dave |

See last item on this link http://www.buy-electrical.co.uk/inde...arget=d25.html but it would have to be set up outside. (extra bother). i did have one years ago it just never seemed very sensitive or accurate somehow. |

The message from "jww" contains these words: thanks to all. i did not want to reset the timer each day. is there some year long list so i could write down a time for say the beginning of each month and then reset it monthly. Each month, look at the time given that day in your newspaper. and reset the timer accordingly. The time changes by a few minutes every day but it will be near enough for the rest of that month. also is it dark at the given sunset time or should my lights go on for say an hour after sunset? since i really only want them to come on when its quite dark. Have you never watched a sunset ? Janet. Janet you wag ! |

Janet ! -- Isle of Arran Open Gardens weekend 21,22,23 July 2006 5 UKP three-day adult ticket (funds go to island charities) buys entry to 26 private gardens That's a damned lie -you confused yourself with the notion of a dawn sensor:-) Any road he could always use the dawn trigger as a marker for the calculation of when next to turn on the lights. Any volunteer nerds to write the programme? |
