digital timer
 
does anyone know where I can get a relatively cheap digital timer to use for my lights? I was looking for one that you can have 2+ different timer settings programed into it. Thanks

Try Walmart, I heard they have a new line out that this store is selling.
I have seen them, and they look as great as they work.

cheers, Rich

Send StirCrazy(Steve) a private message, he should be able to help you out with the details. It was either walmart or Radioshack, but not sure which one.

cheers, Rich

Just one.

I'm pretty sure that the one Sam is reffering to, is the one at Walmart. I think it was something like $17.99.

Hm, that would be a very good price. I think I paid $30-$50 for mine.

I got them at Walmart for about 25 to 29.00 each.

they are Intermatic Programmable 7 Day Digital Outdoor Timer HB77R.

I got a great one at London Drugs (if you can believe it) $29.00 miltipule on/off custome program per day. two grounded plugs per unit. manual over ride. LOVE it. Made by Woods.

I use the same timer from London Drugs, but I believe they sell for $34.99-$39.99. I did have one that just failed on me recently though. Other than that, it's a wonderful digital timer.

Be sure to test them out in the first few days. I bought mine and Home Depot for about $23 each, and they seem to move forward a few minutes every day. I'm resetting them today and keeping track for the rest of the week to be sure.

I bought 6 Intermatic HB65RC70 "Digital Outdoor Timer". One of them did not work, which I returned. Every single one of the other five is 5 - 10 minutes slow on a per day basis. I set one of the lights to come on at 10am it came on at 10:15 am the next day. So, anyone know of a nice cheap timer from Canadian Tire, that's the store in town, which keeps PROPER time?
