Electrical setup

[Hogdady]

So what's my alternative, have an electrician come install a 30 amp dryer breaker? How would i then use that breaker to run power to my lights? I've only seen subpanels, i'm not too familiar with wires coming directly out from an actual breaker. What would this setup look like, and would i be able to make the connections ex post facto if i have him run the 30 amp breaker to a 220 outlet? I assume i would then just find a 220 'power strip' style timer into which i could plug my lights? I've used a Green Air 8-light timer at 220 in the past, and i've also seen depot-style gray box timers. My question is, if the electrician connects a 30 amp breaker is there anything specific to ask him to do or can i wire the rest diy? Keep in mind i won't be able to kill the main power after he leaves..

If the electrician is going to install a 220v dryer outlet, you can easily feed your timer with a dryer cord, giving you 24 amps @ 220v. That will safely fill your lighting needs.
