Most Reliable Timer

[Louis]

Hey everyone,

I'm looking for a nice timer to keep my lighting times constant. What do you all use? Price range?

Thanks everyone!

Make sure you buy a timer that is rated higher (AMP wise) then what you're using it for. I use the electronic timer b/c it's more reliable. I paid about $10 for mine from Wal-Mart, but it might have been b/c of a clearance. I think the electronic timer are about $20 from HOme Depot.

The timer that use pin(s) to trip it on and off sometime get stuck in one setting.

I went through a bunch of timers from Home Depot and Lowe's and they all sucked. Finally I spent the 50 bucks for an icecap timer and have been happy ever since. It took me a long time because I didn't want to spend $50 on a timer but really I ended up spending more than that on cheapy ones that only worked for a few months at best.

I've used an Intermatic electronic timer on many occassions (sp) It has several on and off programs and is a grounded unit. The unit appears to be very dependable.
