First, my situation is that I have a in-wall 24 hour timer installed now that turns my coach light on/off so that they are not left on all day wasting money. This not being the most energy efficient because I can?t use florescent bulbs because its a electronic timer, and after doing the math, the time I have my incandescent lights on uses about the same amount of power as leaving a florescent light on all day.
In my mind the simple solution would be to get a non-electronic timer to replace the one I have, but I haven?t found any that would replace a decora switch. Other then mounting a large yard light timer I have been thinking about getting a 120v relay that wouldn?t bleed power to the lights while the power is suppose to be off. All just ideas now, maybe someone has a better one, or a non-electronic timer I could replace a decora switch with that I overlooked.
