light timer with a ground ????

i just got a use 24" 2x36watt pc compact light and was wondering is there a timer with a ground on it? the plug has a ground (third prong) and was wondering does anyone know where to get a timer for that or do they even make them?

Yes they sell them.  I got mine at Home Depot.  Kind of expensive compared to the regular timer.

Just for info, I prefer the digital timers. Yes, they're more expensive, but they have multiple programmable light periods and can be turned on at the touch of a button, instead of turning knobs, which sometimes throws the time off. later *crazysmiley*
