Light switch timer options?

10 years ago

Hey

I have some gas lanterns that are hooked to a light switch. I was wondering if there is anyway I could add some type of timer to it, so I could set them up to just run a few hours each day? I would also like to have the option of controlling the switch manually.

Thanks

Leviton has one that I have used in the past. It is linked below.
