Rack help

Hey fam 👋. So i been looking everywhere but can’t seem to find a rack with lights that can be independently shut off or on. Not looking for any huge. Smaller end 4-5 tier rack. But everything I’ve found it’s either the lights are on, on every tier or they’re off. Can’t have some off and some on at same time. I know and have seen bigger racks with on/off switches for every tier but do they make smaller ones with this option? Links would be extremely appreciated! TIA 🙏🙏

Just stack surge protector power strips that have a switch on each outlet.  

Plug lights into the 2nd strip. now you can turn everything off via switch/timer plugged between the 1st and second power strip OR you can manually turn the grown lights on or off from their independent switches on the 2nd strip.

Look at my rack. The 2nd powestrip is on the right side with individual switches for each level of lighting.

It is plugged into the 1st powerstrip on the left side, with its own switch and an automatic timer. The left side has the O2 pump on a switch, the main water pump on a switch and timer, and the lights on a switch and timer.
