Review on Thomas 5017 Traceable Flashing LED Dual Channel Timer with Big-Digit Display, 3-inch Width x 3.5-inch Height x 5/8-inch Thickness by Lori Dahl

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Looks pretty good

Let me start by saying that I'm a magician and this timer is designed to help me keep track of my performances DURING my performances. And for that it seems to be the most perfect. While the magnet isn't very strong, I won't be using this feature. I will be using: Timer 1 will be set to the duration of my show minus 5 minutes. Timer 2 is set to the duration of my broadcast. Now the LEDs of both timers are flashing green every 4 seconds during my show. At 1 minute to 0 on timer 1 flashes green every 2 seconds At 10 seconds at 0, timer 1 flashes green every second. After 0 on timer 1, the LED will flash RED for 1 minute. After 1 minute to 0 on Timer 2 (end of show) there will be a green flash every 2 seconds and the Timer 1 LED will light up. it's getting dark. At 10 seconds to 0 on timer 2, there will be a green blink every second. At 0 seconds on Timer 2, the flash will turn RED and blink every second for 1 minute. So if I see 2 slow green flashes it means I can move with my action. If I see 1 fast blinking green light it means I have 5 minutes left and should start preparing for the finals. If I see 1 red flashing light, it means I have less than 5 minutes left. my time slot. 1 green blink and 1 dark blink means I have less than 4 minutes left. 1 fast blinking green and 1 dark blinking means I have less than 1 minute left. 2 dark LEDs mean that I have exceeded my time window by at least 1 minute. Now I probably won't be using the built in stand, I'll either attach shows) or put it in one of my suitcases. In any case, the flashing lights will be invisible to the audience but clearly visible to me, which is damn close to perfect. There is also a small rotating clip on the back. It would be handy to hang this timer on a nail, but I won't be using it. Take it 4 1/2 stars for insufficient magnets but since I don't really care I went for a full 5. Great little product

Pros
  • I'm holding my fists
