Default Exo-Terra Hoods

Hello, does anyone have the 3-bulb exo-terra hood?

It has 2 switches, one which controls two of the lights, and another which controls the third light. I thought it would be cool if when the lights went off (by timer) on the 2 bulbs, the third bulb (fitted with a nocturnal light bulb) would switch on.

Any thoughts on how to achieve this?

you would have to rewire it for a separate power cord.

I have one and just manually flip the switches.

It sounds simple, but I would definitely have someone hands on either do it for your or double check your work. Not to say you don't know what you're doing, just wouldn't want you to cause a short and be in serious trouble. It shouldn't take a lot of time or effort. It could cause a lot of harm and disaster though. Playing Devil's Advocate.
