Default hourly change for timers

Ok who here is effected by the hourly change of 1 hour ahead.

Do you change your timers on your lights ahead to compensate for the change. I have the timers from Canadian tire.

i may have to switch the timers I have a timer for my MH, Actinic's, fans, fans for the MH, and night light. so a total of 5 of them.

My timers have a DS button on them. For the switch, I just hit DS, and they adjust themselves.

For mechanical timers I just move them up one hour. No biggie.

Michael,

We were affected by the time change Takes me a whole freaking week to get my inner clock readjusted

Anyway, about the timers, we have ones similar to yours on three tanks and over our finch aviary. Have to change them all manually because we want their lights to be on the same time as the rest of us. Probably messes with the livestock as much as it does with me

My personal vote is; this fall we all move our clocks back 1/2 an hour and then leave the darned things alone....forever!!!!!

Enough of this fwd back fwd back. 1/2 an hour either way won't hurt anyone.
