Electrical question

Not RV related but figure the folks here will be able to provide some advice.
I want to have a 30 second or so timer that sends a 120v current to one device for 30 seconds, then switches and sends it to another device for another 30 seconds. That cycle would continue all the time.
Any thoughts ? I figure there might be some components on ebay if I only knew what to call them.
Thanks

    You need some time delay relays. There are delay on and delay off types all programable.

    It's pretty simple.... as I said, I have 2 devices( lights), 120v , that I want to alternate powering on at about 30 sec intervals.
