My only upgrade past my previous time was for one that was rated for more wattage. I wonder how many people are using whatever timer they have, not realizing they're rated for draw. Often, the timer that you use on the living room lamp when you go on vacation isn't the timer you want for your grow room.The digital timer that came with My Vivosun light I bought over 5 years ago. It turns the light on and of which is all I need it to do.

If they have a battery backup then that would be ok. But for me and my low wattage, small grow the cheap mechanical timer works for me.i have an Intermatic T-101 mechanical. mechanical>digital as far as timers go IMO
