Timex L12/887/3999P04 Outdoor Countdown Timer with Photoeye & LED

Timex L12/887/3999P04 Outdoor Countdown Timer with Photoeye & LEDSkip the trip outside, and plug in Christmas lights from the warmth of your living room with Timex's handy, outdoor timer. Outfitted with nine, timed settings, it switches lights off and on automatically--so you can avoid excessive electric bills and wasted energy. Additional features include a heavy-duty grounded plug and a 110-volt timer with Photoeye and countdown options. A LED display presents information in large, easy-to-read digits. To use the timer, simply choose how long to run the lights and program in the information. Lights turn on automatically at dusk, and the timer repeats daily. Vacationing homeowners may also opt to set the timer to turn lights on at random intervals to confuse potential burglars.

All-weather casing protects the timer from damage. This item measures 9-1/2 by 5-1/2 by 2-2/3 inches and weighs 1 pound. Timex offers an extended four-year warranty with product registration and fee. --Jessica Reuling

Customer Review: Died after less than a year

I set it to turn on our front side lighting for 2 hours after dusk, it worked for the winter and quit working during spring time.



When it was working, it tends to malfunction after a rain shower. I suspect it leaks water somewhere albeit it was designed for outdoor use.



I'd try a different one. And I won't recommend to anyone who wants an outdoor timer.

Customer Review: Timex outdoor timer

Timex L12/887/3999P04 Outdoor Countdown Timer with Photoeye & LED Purchased 8 timers for my Xmas displays. Was not able to set timer so that it would go on and off daily. Instructions on back of unit small enough to require a magnifying glass to easily read. Called the 800 number and they could not help, but said they would ask someone else and call back. No call back. Called and spoke to another representative who knew even less than myself. Returned all units and bought WalMart outdoor timers for $10.23 each and they are functioning properly. Plus I didn't need a magnifying glass to read the instructions.
