Yes you can get timers my lfs has the power strips with the timers built rite in them if your lfs doesn't have em you can get them online I think Dr. foster and Smith have them. I htink marineland make a couple.
 
You can also get timers at home improvement stores like Lowes. They have some for only $8. Thats where I got mine and it works great. It just plugs into the wall and you plug the light into it.
 
yeah i agree with emptyh, i just got mine at the local wal mart, no sense in spending a fortune for something you can get for next to nothing.... i hope this helps

Awesome!
Thanks
 
It can depend on the light strip you have, but there is an easy test. Turn lights on...unplug...plug back in. If lights come on, you are good to go. Most will not have a problem but I had one that you had to turn on after unplugging it.
