I use two outdoor timers. They are in a water resistant box with a lid and
they have their own cord.

They weren't much more expensive than the indoor type.

My son has a marine tank set up and has some new fancy lights (sorry,
can't be more precise than that) and would like to put them on a
timer. He has everything plugged into a bar plug (extension cable)
and has been looking at the electronic timers, but they say that they
are not reccommended to be fitted to extension leads. :-( Any idea
why this should be, or suggestions as how to get around this. What are
other people here using if they are using timers.
Thanks
Frank
