Timer

With a timer you can switch electronic devices such as luminaires in time-controlled. Simple timer switches the light on and off every day at the same time, while electronic timers can be programmed more individually. Such a function for Outer lights, because you often want them to turn on with darkness and are out in daylight.

Especially when an outer lamp is not Motion detector Or has twilight switches, a timer is useful. This can be used to set the time at which a lamp is supposed to go. Even with motion detectors, a timer is often useful, because this way the period can be determined in which it should be active. As a result, a lamp at the house entrance only starts when moving in the dark and not when someone comes home during the day. This means that you can save a lot of electricity costs.

A further application of timer is also the burglary protection. With this you can simulate an presence to deter thieves. All of this is possible due to the intermediate switching between the socket and thus power supply and the lamp.
