Gary,

Ive been running those same timers on my setup for 2 years now.
No complaints at all and super easy to program. Will never go back to Mechanical Timers EVER!!!

Plus I like the backlighting..

Yeah, I'm loving the Levitron timers too! Indiglo'ish! haha. No more of that annoying sound of gears spinning when the lights go on or off. And the stupid AAA batteries that the Intermatics needed. But I must say, Intermatic was pretty good about replacing defective products. I emailed them when the first one died, and they shipped me a new one from Toronto.

My only question is, how long do the Levitron ones save the programming for? I turned off my power one time to do some maintenance and the programming was saved, but that was only for a short period of time.

I just made this box. Each outlet has it's own switch and the box is divided into two panels giving each panel it's own 15amp breaker.
