I'm looking for a light unit for my 60l fish tank that can control two 24" inch lamps independently as I have a tropical plant tube and a moonlight tube that I would like to switch on and off independently from one another say the tropical one on during the day and the moonlight for a few hours at night but I can't seem to find such a unit, the double controllers I have seen just have one on/off switch which powers both bulbs at the same time :sad: any help will be greatly appreciated :good:

Hi, thank you but I just messaged the seller and he says it powers both together only :sad: I'm beginning to think there is no such thing but I can't see why not! :shout: peeps with other ideas please feel free to chip in :good:

I have a controller, with 2 light fittings(separate but connected via the wiring to the controller) complete with tubes T5 13W the fittings are 21.5" long! I have no need for them and reading you thread reminded me I have them. I can post but don't know much it will be. Would you like them?

Hiya, sounds great but the tubes I have are both 24" long, one is a T8 moonlight tube which I want to power on at night and the other a tropical T8 tube for my plants at the day time, I need a controller that can power each of these tubes independently, many thanks though :)

You may be able to use the controller itself as it has the 2 independent switches and possible buy the two fittings of a suitable size, I'm no expert but I'm sure the controller will work.
 
I'm not really electrically minded so the least amount of work the better or I may end up blowing the house up! :lol: this seems more like what I'm after though http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/BOYU-T5-14W-x-3-Aquarium-Overhead-Tank-Light-Lamp-2ft-/180434682543?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Pet_Supplies_Fish&hash=item2a02bec2af#ht_4489wt_1008
