Electronic stores have them. Basically it's like an alarm clock : but has a power outlet that will be shut on or off at various times. My : friend uses one to have coffee ready for him in the morning. Do you mean like a timer? Just get a $10 light timer like you use for security lights at home. Some now have multiple on and off times. You should be able to find one at WalMart, hardware and department stores. I use these for my Christmas lights. ;) Kevin
