Rating updated. Not waterproof

Goes perfectly with my Halloween decorations. Now I'm ready for Christmas bouncy castles. Update: A storm hit at 2am and all my Christmas lights and bouncy castles lit up by themselves. The remote wouldn't turn them off, so I had to go out into the rain to turn the thing off before my inflatables took off. Only the on and off functions now work manually. This article is not waterproof!

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Some little things

Timer not working

I bought 5 of these to turn on all my Christmas lights hoping to 'set and forget' them with the twilight and X hour features. They seemed to work for the first few days, but I didn't pay much attention to the shutdown time. Now, a week later, however, the shutdown feature works very inconsistently, with each unit shutting down at a different time. I wired them all up and taped them to different mounts so it would be very difficult to remove and return them but I don't see an alternative as they

Pros
  • Cool product
Cons
  • Requires socket

Absolute rubbish for electronics

I have used many of these timers on my Christmas lights over the years and have never had a problem. Tune in to From Dusk Till Dawn and forget it. This timer has his own mind. I feel like I'm in Ghost in the Machine. It turns on when you want and off when you want. Sometimes at 1 a.m., sometimes at 10 p.m., sometimes an hour after switching on. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. And the remote just doesn't work until I literally press it directly against the device. Perhaps mine is…

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Only available in white

Don't believe the positive reviews!

I hate to give negative reviews but from the one star reviews I've read I'm not the only one dealing with these issues. I bought this timer to set my Christmas lights to a photocell so I don't have to turn them off late at night and turn them on again when the sun goes down. Well the first day the timer worked but the next night when I got home from work the lights were still off. The next morning after I manually turned the lights on last night, the lights were still on and the sun had already

  • Weight

  • Safety

Works perfectly! Great device! And a great seller!

This remote plug is fantastic and works as advertised! I have one for outdoor lighting, way out in my backyard, and another in my garage that I use to control a series of desk lamps that I can turn on before entering my dark garage at night. Without being in sight of the distant garage light, I can turn on the light from the house and to my surprise the light comes on! I find it impressive! The backlight works great too! I first had an issue with one of these units and contacted the seller to…

Better than I hoped and love the remote control.

I wanted to put some garlands on the edge of the patio railing to make the evening lighting more attractive so as not to attract as many insects. I turned on the light and then wished there was an easier way for me to turn on the light so the light is on when I get home and then go right before bed after my last evening walk to walk the dogs to go for a walk. Unfortunately. The spotlights were connected to an extension cord at the far end of the deck, which wasn't very convenient. So I found…

Pros
  • Test for one year
Cons
  • Not as thick as the other picks

Great concept when it works

I was hoping it would be a set-it-and-forget timer, but when I got it down to sundown for our Christmas Sunrise put lights, he never turns them on. It plugs into a recessed spot on the porch where the dusk function should activate a little earlier than dusk, if at all. I've also tried turning it on after dark and then setting it to one of the preset times, but woke up to find the light came on well past the preset times (we've tried them all). It's gotten to the point where we just use the…

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Everything is fine
