Go to Lowes or Home Depot and look in their lighting section. They have a bunch of timers.

Look for one that is rated for at least 15 amps, some of the cheaper ones are rated for 10 or less.

Forgot to say, it will cost you about 20 bucks for a more expensive programmable digital one.

Yep that is a better way, but he's running 1 400 watt light and would you actually recommend someone that can't go to a big box store and find a timer themselves or google that shit to open up an electrical box and start re-wiring shit?
