Good, but they reset when the power goes out

I use it for a bug zapper and have it set to turn on at dusk and off at dawn. I have been using these timers for a few months now.The good:The are rugged and easily handle rain without shorting out.The light sensor is accurate.The misses:The LED is difficult to read in daylight.It resets to always on/off when the power goes out which happens frequently here in Florida.

Pros
  • Will be used to control some holiday displays and has been working perfectly for about 1week no problems
Cons
  • The timer's design is bulky and may not fit into some outdoor electrical outlets

Pros
  • Easy to enstall so far good value

Very Versatile: my feedback

I have not dislikes for these timers. They are compact and with the pigtail power cord you can plug it in and program it without having to bend over so far to see it when programing. It should prove weatherproof for a long time it you give it some protection from direct contact with rain or snow. I would be worried about it being ruined if left out on the ground or connected to an extension cord where the elements could get to it.It is pretty simple to program if you follow the directions.

Pros
  • I like the fact their weather proof & a digital timer, easy to set. I use these for outdoor lighting.
Cons
  • The timer's design and packaging do not include any information about its environmental impact

Solid exterior timers

Works great for exterior lights. Use on dusk to dawn setting. No issues with turning on or off. Just wish I didn’t have to reset when the power goes out. A small price to pay.

Pros
  • Its simple to program and works rain or shine. cant ask for anything simpler.
Cons
  • The timer's buttons are not backlit, making it difficult to program at nighttime

2 of them broke in the first day

I am really starting to question stuff made in China. I am having bad luck with electronics. I will now be buying little things like this stuff from a local Home D. or Lowes. Yes, they will still be made in China, however, it will be much easier to return them at the local level.

Pros
  • Used 6 of them to light up our palm trees
Cons
  • The timer's electrical outlets may not be compatible with some types of outdoor lighting fixtures

Quick and Easy to set up

Needed a timer for bug zappers. In less than 5 minutes I had 2 of these hooked up and ready to go for dusk to dawn operation. Thanks for attention!

Pros
  • Good quality product, seems to be operating as per description, easy to operate
Cons
  • The timer's electrical outlets may short circuit if they become wet or exposed to moisture

easy to use - my new review

I have been using these for years. Nothing lasts forever so I have had to replace them over the years. They go on with the night and offer after how ever many hours you choose.

Pros
  • works great
Cons
  • The timer's light sensor is not adjustable and may not work well in all geographic locations

Convenient energy saver

These are a must have for my annual outdoor Christmas lights. I set them at dusk til dawn but there are a few programming options. Easy to set up and forget it. My lights turn on and off automatically now.

Pros
  • Easy set up and isee
Cons
  • The timer's packaging is not environmentally conscious and may contribute to plastic waste

Don’t buy it! - my new review

Very poor quality, it worked for a week and it doesn't work anymore. It's on program D, as you can see in the photo, it's noon and the lights are still on. the screen was filled with water so it is very difficult to see it. I'm going to return it. Very disappointed with this product!

Pros
  • Excellent timer and so easy to use. It appears durable enough to sustain harsh weather.
Cons
  • The timer's light sensor may not work well in areas with inconsistent lighting conditions

Good while it works

The product worked well at first. Then one of them started making a buzzing noise and would make the Christmas lights flicker so we threw it away. (Had it plugged into Christmas lights that lined my back porch, lasted about a year) Plugged in the second one and it lasted two works before it flat out died. The other one is in my Christmas box for outside Xmas lights. I’ll let you know if he works in December.

Pros
  • Keep the instructions for the different modes but waterproof and works well
Cons
  • The timer's light sensor may become obstructed by plants or other outdoor objects
