HBN 24 Hour Energy Saving Programmable Outdoor Mechanical Timer Switch

Good quality

Does what it says. Good quality but be sure to check the capacity.

This is an excellent and easy to use outdoor programmable timer switch with a protective cover for the electrical and moving parts. Not easy to find outdoor version, and this one is ideal for programming Christmas lights to come on and switch off when desired, as many times a day as you like. Black colour means it is unobtrusive.

Very good timer waterproof great to use with outside Xmas lights

There is no doubting this is a robust product which looks and feels the part and does its job. Unfortunately, it's quite unlikely that this is the right product to buy...If you want an indoor timer, there are cheaper options (e.g. an HBN / Masterplug indoor timer). If you want an 'outdoor' timer to fit in a weatherproof box, it's probably too deep to fit. If you want an outdoor timer to fit into a waterproof socket, you won't be able to close the waterproof cover on the socket. If you want to plug it into a normal socket outdoors, that's only really okay if it is protected from the elements somehow - it might be fine in some porches, in the unlikely event of having a power socket there.That's not the end of the practical issues though:- the bottom flap on it is fairly pointless and 100% stops you from plugging in any power adapters which extend upwards above the socket.- there is an unexplained 1cm bulge between its UK power prongs and the back of the device, which makes it very deep and unnecessarily large.It's good build quality, but poor design.

I have used this for inside the garage for our water feature and lights.Easy to use . Definitely recommend this product.

Most outdoor electrical outlets have a waterproof flap that is hinged at the top. Due the design of this timer, the plug is situated with the controller above the plug. So it can’t be used with a standard outdoor socket as the flap obstructs the controller

The timer does what it is supposed to ... took a few goes to get the hang of the procedure to set the timer but once you know all is good.
