Actuator will be weather protected also. timers would be better than photocell for some reasons but you would have to reset for daylight savings but overall probably better with timers.


for something that light, you could rig 4 after market power window actuators. they act pretty quick, but they are cheap. I used some to build a few hobby projects while back.
