I have the non-digital version, and have it so that the LED's are on all the time. Then the others go on and off at the same time everyday, but lately the timer has not been working.....

I actually have a second timer for my actinics. So the actinics go on 90 minutes before and 90 oafter the 12k bulbs.

Do you leave the Actinics on the whole day while your 12k's are on. That is what i have been doing but i didnt know if that was wrong.
