Review on Plusmart Outdoor Digital Timer With Waterproof Light Sensor, Dusk To Dawn Control For Electrical Outlets (3 Pack + 6 Inch Extension Cord, 1/2HP) by Dana Mahendra

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Works well until power outage then resets to off

This is a functional timer that works well but has some serious flaws. First and foremost, when the power goes off and is restored the timer defaults to "Off” and the led display shows "F”. This makes the unit worthless as a dependable security or convenience lighting option. Where we have our lake house, the power is turned off frequently and when it is I am required to reset all three of the timers. Since we do not visit the house each week, we can go many days where the lights are not turning on. That is a serious flaw ( but I have learned it is common for many digital timers from China). Second, the led display is so dim, it is difficult to see in the daylight. In sunlight it is impossible. You are required o shield the display and place your eye right against the unit. BAD!

Pros
  • Just what I wanted.
Cons
  • The timer's plastic casing may fade or discolor over time
