Customer Review: Outdoor timer with photo eye control
Summary: 5 Stars
I wanted a photoelectric eye timer that would work with my interior lights for an upcoming trip. Purchasing another brand (GE), the first unit was defective right out of the box. I happened across this unit at a local merchandise retailer in southeast Michigan. The description appeared to be just what I wanted. Programming appeared to be simple.
This timer is rated for 1000 watts -- more than enough for multiple household lights. Unlike the GE unit, there was NO warning about using this product for more than 90 days in a row, which I found quite strange for an outdoor photoelectric timer controlling outdoor devices. There is only one output plug on the bottom. The power cord is a short - 6" in length - if it must be longer, then this unit must be connected to an extension cord.
There are multiple programmable settings that must be reprogrammed each time the unit is unplugged from the wall. Programming is cycling through the menu with the push of the green function button on the face, with an LED number readout displaying the following settings:
* F - No Power (default start position upon being plugged into the wall)
* O - Continuous On
* 1-9 - Power on (in hours) at Dusk and then turn off
* d - Turn on at Dusk and off at Dawn
* 1-9 - Power on immediately and timer set (in hours) to turn off power
Do it a couple times and it will become second nature.
Also, whatever you program you select, this same program repeats daily. There is no provision for multiple programs at different times. This is a one program only timer.
How well does this timer work? In a dark room, I plugged it in with a test lamp connected and programmed the unit to turn on at dusk and turn off in 1 hour. It worked. I reprogrammed it to turn off in 2 hours. It also worked. The true test came at night -- on at dusk (inside the house) and off in 5 hours. The light changes inside a house is less dramatic than outside, since other lamps and televisions can effect how well the photo eye actually performs. Mounted near a window, on a cloudy day, this unit sensed the decreased light inside the house and turned on an hour and a half before sundown. A table top lamp and television on inside didn't turn the unit off. Five hours later, the light turned off.
Overall, I'm pleased with this timer, even though the package states "For outdoor use only" it does work indoors as well, so long as enough light hits the photoelectric sensor and keeps the unit off. With a little repositioning, it works for me.
