Light-Sensing Light Controls
Automatically turn outdoor lights on after dark and off at daybreak, conserving energy when lights are not needed. A time delay prevents false switches due to light flashes.
Outlet-box- and panel-mount controls are flush when mounted.
Wall-mount controls require a base (sold separately).

Outdoor Set-to-the-Minute High-Current Time and Day Activated Switches
Rated NEMA 3R, these rain-tight switches protect against falling liquids and light splashing. More precise than other time and day switches, they program on/off times for equipment down to the exact minute. They control equipment with high currents, such as landscape lighting, pumps, and heaters. A backup battery maintains the program during a power outage.
Seven-day switches can perform a different program each day of the week.
Seven-day/365-day switches can perform a different program each day of the week or year, and compensate for leap year and daylight savings time. Override regular programming for up to 99 holidays for any length of time. They can also be used to activate equipment such as bells and signals for just a few seconds.
Switches with astronomical timing can be set to turn lights on and off based on sunrise and sunset.
Switches with a day skipper can be programmed to skip operation for one to six days.

Outlet-Box-Mount Time and Day Activated Switches
Switches fit single device (1 gang) outlet boxes. Program them to turn a device on and off at a set time and day. They’re often used with lamps and other small electrical loads.
Seven-day switches can perform a different program each day of the week. Use the astronomical timing to turn lights on and off based on sunrise and sunset; this option can be used independently or in combination with timed programming.

Outdoor Time and Day Activated Switches
Designed to work with landscape lighting and filter pumps, these switches turn equipment on and off at a set time and day. They control two devices at once, and have three-prong outlets to plug devices directly into the switch. All have an override to bypass the programmed on/off settings.
24-hour switches repeat the same program daily. Position trippers around the clock dial to set on and off times.
Seven-day switches can perform a different program each day of the week. They have astronomical timing that can be set to turn lights on and off based on sunrise and sunset.
Switches with light sensor control allow one device to be controlled by the presence or absence of light.
NEMA 3R rated switches are protected against falling liquids and light splashing.
