Edward - there are several of these in many ghardware stores to choose from,
but here are a few tips: 1) Make sure tat the one you choose says it has a
built-in battery back-up since your location isn't used every day, and
noboduy will be there to reset it during power outages. and 2) Newer ones
will say that they work with flourescent lights, - a good choice for lights
that will be on a lot of the year.

I'm glad you brought that up.
It is a street light, and I stuck one of those flourscent replacement
bulbs in there so it lasts longer - it is a major pain in the ass to
replace, so I wanted to put something in there that would last longer.
I think you answered, but I want to clarify, would I need a special
timer to accommodate that flourscent bulb?
