Do pure multi-channel lighting timers exist?

[maury]

I was initially thinking about getting an Octopus/Neptune controller, but the more I look at it, the only thing I see I will be needing it for would be light timing control. My ozone generator and heaters all have built in controllers, the calcium reactor rarely will need tuning once it's set, and any chiller comes with built in control. Just can't see shelling out that much dough for pure light control. So am I screwed here, or do pure multi-channel light timers exist? P.S, I'm NOT buying a bunch of timers from Home Depot and setting those up, looking for something small, like the aforementioned controllers, than I can wire AL of the lights into. Thanks!

I'd be interested in something like this too.
How many individual circuits are you looking to have Maury ?
How many set points for each circuit ? On/Off and durations ?
I'm looking for same thing - and so far I've only arrived at very expensive Industrial devices.
I do have a source I can contact, but the device I'm thinking of using would require us to mount it into a panal type enclosure ( like a small fiberglass or plastic Hoffman enclosure.)
I'll let you know. I'm thinking these small industrial digital alarm/timer panal meters cost around $100 to $150 bucks, and will control up to 6 individual circuits.

X-10 mini-controller will allow 4 circuits independent on/off control w/ 2 on/off cycles per day if desired. Make sure to use x-10 "receiver modules" suitable for wattage of lights on each circuit. Only visible item I have is timer control module itself. But you could hide this too. I LOVE mine, Fester
