How do you make a digital countdown to Christmas timer?
One that shows: days, hours, minutes and seconds.
Answer:
Try google desktop! (I did exactly what your describing.)

Once you have it installed, go to the plus sign at the top of your new tool bar on your desktop. Once you click it search timer. Add the timer then set up your countdown.

Digital Ballasts are Energy Efficient
Digital ballasts use switching electronics and small frequency inductors to control current and voltage to the lamp. They even contain a microprocessor like what you would find in a home computer. These characteristics allow the grower to use digital ballasts with both metal halide and high pressure sodium bulbs, and without degrading the bulbs. The design of these digital ballasts also offer the grower a power efficiency that the typical mechanical ballasts just can't match.
One of the great advantages of this power efficiency is start up power. Digital ballasts utilize "soft start" technology which means that they use very low start up currents (amps). This is a big advantage to growers who are using multiple ballasts because it allows you to turn on more ballasts at the same time from the same outlet/timer. Most timers have 10-15 amp contacts and can usually only handle 2 x 600w magnetic ballasts at a time before the contacts go. Typically when this happens your timers won't turn on or off, or you could possibly blow a circuit fuse.
Using digital ballasts, the grower is able to start up as many as 4 x 600w ballasts at a time off of a single timer. Even this lower energy use at start up can even help save money on your energy bills! One other advantage to the power efficiency of digital ballasts is that when you have a larger setup, having multiple mechanical ballasts drops your power voltage as you add more ballasts. This leads to lower light output, and lower yields. Using digital ballasts you won't have this problem as the energy use is more efficient.
Energy efficiency is huge these days with people going green in many areas of their lives. Energy costs are only going up so make the smart decision today and buy a digital ballast instead of a mechanical/magnetic ballast!
