    Default Timer switch for lights

    The last few timer switches that I've bought have died in less than a month. They seem to get "stuck" and do nothing. The first two were cheap, but the second one was a digital one. I'm wondering if anyone has a good recommendation for me. Normally I can just turn it on and off myself, but when I'm gone over the weekend for things, I'd like my frogs to still have light as the room they are in stays pretty dark.

    I use ge digital timer/power strips from Home Depot (about $20). You get 4 timed outlets and 4 constant power outlets. Never have had an issue with them for a few years now.
