Timer

With a timer, you can turn electronic devices such as lights on and off at set times. Simple timers turn the lights on and off at the same time every day, while electronic timers can be programmed more specifically. This feature is particularly useful for Outdoor Lights, since you often want them to turn on at dusk and off during daylight hours. Especially when an outdoor light doesn't Motion Detector or a twilight switch, a timer is useful. It allows you to set the time at which a light should turn on or off. Even with a motion detector, a timer is often a good idea, because it lets you specify the time period during which the detector should be active. This ensures, for example, that a light at the front door turns on only when motion is detected in the dark—and not when someone comes home during the day. This can also help you save quite a bit on electricity costs. Another use for timers is burglary prevention. For example, you can use one to simulate someone being home in order to deter thieves. All of this is possible because the timer is connected between the outlet—and thus the power supply—and the light fixture.
