BN-LINK Outdoor 24-Hour Timer With Photocell Light Sensor, Water Resistant Photoelectric Countdown Timer(2, 4, 6 or 8 Hours Mode), Weatherproof, Two (2) Grounded Outlets for Home and Garden, Black

Your lights will turn on automatically when it gets dark enough. What I like about it over smart plugs is that it is 1) weatherproof and 2) adapts to the ever-changing environment. During the winter, the time of dusk changes. It will always turn on when it gets dark, which is ideal as the nights grow darker and darker as we approach the end of December. br>br>I also like that once the photosensor is activated, you can set it to use a timer function, so instead of running from dusk to dawn, it can run from dusk to a specific number of hours later. There's no need to keep lights on at 3 a. m. , and there's no need to be concerned about unplugging lights at the end of the night. Christmas lights are now a breeze to put up.

Please see the paragraphs below for the rest of my lengthy story. Century Products came through in the end, even though the original photocell timer did not work for me. br>br>I had placed an order for a timer to be used with some outdoor lights. Every time it turned on, it would cycle off and on for a minute or two. This occurred even when the unit was turned away from the lights and against the wall. I contacted the seller, and they kindly sent me a replacement, which worked just as well as the original. The seller stated that they tested the returned unit and found it to be in good working order, but they still refunded my purchase price. br>br>While the photocell timer didn't work for me, Century Products has to be one of the most popular brands. They did a fantastic job with me and deserve my thanks. As a result, the product only gets two stars, but the seller gets five! br>br>I bought a different photocell timer from a different company, and it worked perfectly. br>br>ADDENDUM: ADDENDUM: ADDENDUM: ADDENDUM: ADDENDUM: ADD Century Products sent me ANOTHER unit to test, and they asked me to do so. That's exactly what I did, and it's perfect. Century Products is deserving of the award for attempting to solve the problem. They receive five stars, as I previously stated.

I followed the instructions and put it in the sun, but it never turned on the first day. Period. It did turn on at dusk on the second day, but only for 10 seconds before turning off again. After that, put it on again. Then take a step back. You see what I mean. I had the impression of being in a nightclub. It appeared to work on day three, as it turned on and then turned off two hours later, as I had specified. But 30 minutes later, it was back in full force, and it lasted the entire night. You only had one timer for your job. ONE job.

SEE BELOW FOR AN UPDATED REPORT. UPDATE: Century asked for an update on October 4, 2018. Outdoor landscape lighting has been controlled by Light on a nightly basis, cycling on and off on the previously problematic 2 hour setting. There have been no problems with this unit. The rating has been raised to four stars. br>br>UPDATE: br>br> July 5th, 2018 Century sent me a replacement unit, which I installed last night and found to work properly on the two-hour timer. Updated to three starts; will update in due course, based on product performance. This company, I must say, was extremely responsive and took the time to quickly resolve the issue. Thanks! ORIGINAL ONE-STAR REVIEW: br>br> I need a dusk to dawn timer for my eight LED yard lights, each of which draws 5 watts, for a total of 40 watts. I bought this based on a slew of glowing reviews that seemed to be all over the place. placed? The product was supposed to be light-activated and turn off after N hours, so I double-checked that it worked properly. Then I plugged in the lights and set the timer for two hours. The unit and lights turned on at dusk, which was great, but they should have turned off two hours later. When I awoke at 5 a. m. , the lights were still shining brightly, and they stayed on until the sun rose into the bright daylight sun, at which point I had to unplug it. BIG Fail! The photocell does not detect the next day's sunlight, and neither does the timer feature. It's mystical that it turned on the lights but then failed to turn them off, either via solar sensor or timer. Maybe it was a bad batch? Maybe there's a problem with the circuit design? I have other Century timers inside that work fine, so I'm hoping to hear from the manufacturer, but in the meantime, I'll be returning it and switching to another brand.

Yes, I read that section of the manual, but I had trouble figuring out how to use the timer. I'd set the first timer for Sunday through Saturday, and then move on to the second timer setting - I didn't need it because I wanted the sun to shine continuously from Monday to Saturday. Everything was fine until Sunday, when the timer failed to shut off. So I returned to the second setting and changed it to Sun through Sat. The timer was now set to the third position. I finally realized that if the timer advances to the next setting, you'll have to repeat the process. As a result, I've set all three clocks to the same time from Sunday to Saturday.
