yes, you need a high watt rated appliance timer. How many watts of light and fans are you running?

I just need one that will work with my 400 watt HPS

Would this one work ? http://www.canadiantire.ca/AST/brow...rs/PRD~0528823P/Heavy-Duty+Grounded+Timer.jsp

that'll be fine. I have over 700w of lights and fans on a timer like that.

you need a contactor and the correct type of timer and stick to your lighting photoperiod.
not just any timer but one wired with a contactor.
