Most electiecians will tell you to go with the old analog timers. I've used them for 9 years - Only one failed due to me frying it with too much of a load. When I first began using them I was running 3K... Presently running up to 9K...
These run forever and are probably the easiest timers to set for 24 hour periods...

I would suggest something like http://www.titancontrols.net/shop/bybrand/TITAN/titan-controls-helios-15-8-light-240v-controller-with-timer_1
or you can build you own easily

I don't know what the exact over amount of wattage it was that made this timer melt down... It was $150.00 eight years ago... I saved money on the replacement by using the old box but the price has gone up a fair amount.
Going this route helped clean up the room of excess extension cords, etc.
Recently this box was added so the timer can now handle up to 80 amps.

I like using honeywell digital timers.
Too many times over the years power outages have made mechanical timers be off time.
I've seen both fail.

Got me??? Just happen to know a very cool electrician who owns his own business. He's super careful when working during flowering. Last grow the work had to be done one week before chopping. I couldn't believe there wasn't any plant damage putting that and two more outlet boxes down the line and into the mother room.
