Pro-Elec Compact 24 Hour Mechanical Vivarium Timer

The Pro-Elec Compact 24 Hour Mechanical Timer is a straightforward, reliable plug-in timer for managing lighting and heating schedules in vivariums and terrariums. No programming menus, no Wi-Fi setup — just a simple rotary dial that gives reptile keepers dependable day/night cycle control without the complexity.

Scheduling Capability

The dial supports up to 48 on/off switching events within a single 24-hour period, giving you granular control over photoperiods or heat cycles. The minimum switching interval is 30 minutes, which covers the vast majority of reptile and amphibian lighting requirements.

Manual Override

A dedicated override switch lets you run the connected device continuously regardless of the timer programme — useful when cleaning, acclimatising a new animal, or running equipment during setup without having to dismantle your schedule settings.

Electrical Rating

Rated to a maximum resistive load of 13A, making it compatible with standard UK plug-in lighting, heat mats, and lower-wattage heating equipment used in reptile setups.

A no-fuss mechanical timer that does exactly what it needs to — keep your vivarium on a consistent schedule day after day, with no batteries or software required.
