i know there are timers that go inline with corded lamps, but what if you only have hardwired ceiling lights. is there some sort of timers for those? i'd like to do something like that now that a second house on my block was broken into.

amazon has everything. This was just a quick search to see if such a thing exists, and it does. I have no idea what's a good product...
Amazon.com: Aube by Honeywell TI032-3W-5/U 7-Day Programmable Timer Switch, Almond: Home Improvement
that's a permanent mount. i'm hoping to find something that doesn't have to be wired in. the permanent mount ones require three way wiring, which i don't have. it would be a total beatch to run another wire
What about something that screws into the light socket. This one is not as functional, but still might work. Amazon.com: Westek SLC6CFL 100W Programmable Screw-In Light Control, White: Home Improvement
Why don't you buy the ones that plug into the wall socket and your lamp plugs into them?
Most people use them with their outside christmas lights.

Home Depot sells a timer that replaces the wall switch. A buddy has them and loves them.
home desperate near me only sells ge which requires a third wire, so does honeywell. can't find any info on the e140c, but did find Intermatic EI600WC, which looks like it doesn't require a neutral. i'm gonna give it a shot.
IIRC they only require hot, neutral and ground connections. That's how almost all home lighting circuits are set up (14/2 NM wire for a 15A circuit). What do the switches you found call for?
hot and ground only
don't knwo about the honeywell. i ordered the intermatic. only requires hot and ground, which is all i've got
