Outlet Timers?

[CamiGirl89]

Ok, I am starting to move forward in my technology and look for a timer for my chameleon lights. I am looking for something easy to figure out (the timers with large dials that you have to mess with for hours... not easy). I am also looking for something affordable... Nothing too special! Anyone have any recommendations of what I should start shopping for?

The large dial ones aren't as complicated as they appear. It really only takes a minute to set them once you figure it out.

For this model all you do is push down the buttons for when you want the lights to be on. lets say 9-9 for instance and you start at 9am and push down all the buttons counter clockwise until you get to 9pm. Then you just turn the dial to the current time and plug it in.

Other models I have seen you put a green insert in at the time you want it to turn on and a red one when you want it to turn off, spin it to the current time, and plug it in.

Yes but the digital one you set it and you are done forever, and you can also put in the separate minutes, but if you are on a budget the one you are describing would be better

if you get one with a three prong outlet plug you only have to get one. I attach a power strip to the timer and run 4 viv's and my two snakes. (do math for the amount of watts/volts you can be using at one time on one strip though!!)
