Hi CD members,
Can any one on this forum guide as to having a time controlled lamp on in the house in absence due to vaccation?

Whenever you experience joy, peace, security, equanimity or purity, it is only because you are aligned with ALMIGHTY.

One simplest and cheapest way is to buy a timer from Canadiantire . It will turn off and turn on anything attached to it ( including your lamp ) . The settings can vary from time based or Dusk to dawn automatically .
Hope it helps a little .

I usually install/use them when on vacation. I picked one up from CT when it was on sale, it's a digital one with upto 20 on/off settings and a battery back-up. The other one I have is a manual one, which is also good. Generally I have the lights turn ON for an hour or so in the morning and a few hours in the evening.

There are more expensive systems available for those who want to customize.

Here is some thing to think about.
