Timers for LED drivers?

Hey,

I have bought two timers, one digital and, the other is a push/pull timer. I bought the push/pull clip timer that has surge protection on it, after the digital timer failing to turn off.. Now this timer, doesn't turn off. Today, my computer tripped, on me when the vacuum cleaner was turn on. I notice that sometimes when the vacuum turns on the in-rush shuts my computer off. Could it be that, when my computer tripped, the timer broke? Its just my computer that turns off. The push/pull timer has been working for couple of days, until today it didn't turn off the lights..

This push/pull timer is rated at 10A. I have two led drivers connected to it, with the timer connected to heavy duty industrial 10A power box 4 outlets. Two drivers plugged into 1 timer, could also be the problem. Too much inrush??? So just buy two heavy duty timers instead? I'm at the flowering phase, so I can't mess this up.

2 X 185- HLG-C700A
8 X CXB3590 3000K

Could someone who using 2 or more led drivers, tell me what you did?

Typical amperage draw from those drivers according to datasheet is only 2A/115VAC so you would only be drawing 4A from the circuit but with that said what else is attached to the same breaker in the panel that this plug is running from? If you want a solid timer you could use something like THIS and hardwire the electrical into it and have a two gang box for the output side.Simply plug anything you want on the timer into the two plugs in the two gang box.

This timer has 15 minute increments and for 15A 120V, might be worth a shot for $7
