Im looking for a really good timer for my lights.  It seems like Im going through one every couple of months or so.  So if you have any good ones please share what you have and how well its been working for you.

I have been using the Brinks brand digital timers for about a year now and have been very happy with them. You can get them right in WalMart for around $12 each
 
I used to use Coralife brand timers... they are Censored stayaway from them. Overpriced junk.

Honestly, I use the $4 ones from Harbor Freight and haven't had a problem yet.

I also buy the $4 - 2 prong, $8 - grounded timers from Wal-Mart or Home Depot.  They are bullet proof.  I have used them continuously for years without problem.
