BN-LINK Outdoor Light Timer, RF Remote, Dusk+Countdown, 2 Grounded Outlets

The first night it did not turn on, because of string lights around the porch. So I ty-rapped a black plastic Folgers coffee can lid to the AC cord, to hang in front of the photosensor. Then it worked great: on at dusk, off at dawn.

Works great. I purchased it to turn on and off a bug zapper. The timer has a dusk to dawn feature and that's what I purchased it for.

We bought this for spotlight on our flag and for decorative lights on our front porch. I LOVE that it has room for TWO plugs and we love using the "dusk to dawn" setting. The light sensor works better than expected because we having it hanging behind an antique wagon and it is able to pick up the changes in light without being completely out in the open. The one thing I have noticed using the dusk to dawn setting is that after it turns on and begins to operate it will just shut off for no reason for about 5-6 seconds and then come back on. The the price I paid I am extremely satisfied and it fits my need.

Somebody decided to place the wall mounting hole in the only spot on the entire timer body where it cannot be accessed. Updated my review from 1 star to 4 stars. The dusk to dawn sensor works good, and having 2 outlets is a plus. The product seems to be well built for the job, and the selector knob positions clearly labeled and easy to understand.

UPDATED REVIEW I wanted to update my original review, in which I left this product a one-star review (my original review is below). After leaving that original review, the product manufacturer reached out to me here on Amazon. The manufacturer is awesome and very responsive! To try to make things right, the manufacturer sent me a replacement Photocell Light Sensor since my return window with Amazon had closed. The replacement works perfectly and as designed. It is exactly what I needed. The manufacturer gets an A+ and the customer service reps, Sally, Darren, and Steven, were outstanding. Given the excellent customer service and great quality of the replacement photosensor outlet, I believe this deserves a five-star review. ORIGINAL REVIEW (below) I received delivery of this timer the first week of January 2022, and it sat unopened on my desk until about two weeks ago (mid-May 2022). I opened the box and plugged it in outside to automatically turn on exterior string lights on my patio, setting the dial to come on at dusk and stay on for 2 hours. It worked great for the first few days, but then it stopped working. It does turn the lights on at dusk, but it does not turn them off after 2 hours; rather, it keeps them on all night, despite being set for only 2 hours of operation. I noticed that it stopped working correctly after we had rain, which means it is not weatherproof as the product says. Unfortunately, I can no longer return this item because I waited too long to use it, and I'm past the return window. Given the fact that it stopped working after only 2 weeks, I would not recommend this item to anyone. It does not seem weatherproof. WASTE OF MONEY!

EDIT!!!! As my original review stated I thought that the photocell was not working but, it turns out I'm a victim of modern day instant gratification. If you turn on the photocell setting or the timed setting the lights will shut off which is what made me think the photocell was not working. If only I had waited another 20-30 seconds I would have seen the lights turn right back on! We've been using this for less than a week but, it's been so good so far now that I've been patient and let the item do it's job. I've used the 4H and 6H timers so I havn't seen the lights turn off but, they havn't been on when I've woken up so it works for me. lol I'm sorry for the original bad review! The customer service was great as a replacement was immediately sent out once my review was seen! I'm going to send it back unopened since there's no need to ruin a perfectly find product! I just received this unit in the mail. I pkugged it into the wall and it works great on the always on/off settings but the photocell option doesnt work. It's dark out but I do live in a small city so there is ambient light. I covered the photcell with my finger to see if it would turn on and it did not. It is now being used as an on/off switch so i dont have to unplug the two cables each time. I think i'll initiate a refund/exchange if the company doesn't reach out to me first..

I have landscape lights that I use not only for decor but also for security. This unit gives me the option to set a specified run time or as I prefer, automatically dusk to dawn. It is compact and so far very accurate. Set up was as simple as plugging it in and turning a dial. I would have preferred a longer power cord but the one attached was acceptable.

I plugged my Christmas light into this in the afternoon. That night I looked out the window and the lights had not turned on. I waited another hour and checked again. Still no lights. After bringing it inside, I tried holding my thumb over the photocell, still nothing. I messed with it in this fashion for a while, and was just about to give up and send it back. And then it turned on. I pulled my thumb off in the lighted room, and yet the power stayed on. After playing around a little bit more, I was able to get it to turn on in the dark, and off in the light. I took it back outside and plugged the Christmas lights in again. It has been two weeks and they turn on every evening an off every morning as they should. I have not used the timer functions, only the dusk to dawn setting. Short version: It did not work out of the box, I played with for about half an hour, and now it works fine. My best guess is that the mechanism was too stiff, and it needed to be exercised a little bit to loosen it up.

I was initially worried about this being analog and not digital, as I’ve seen the complicated dial timers, and have no idea how to use those. A digital screen seems to make more sense to me. But this was cheaper and had good reviews, and I am so glad I got it. It was dead simple to set up, and made me realize a digital one would’ve probably taken me an hour to figure out! I’ve been using this for a month now with my Christmas lights (yes I turn them on Nov 1!), it turns on at dusk, and stays on for the correct amount of hours. Zero complaints.

Excelente producto, llkego en tiempo y forma

This item is great. It arrived in a timely fashion and a great price. I thought that the item was faulty and sent it back. The seller was very accommodating. It turns out that my electric cord was the issue. I highly recommend this item and customer service is wonderful.

good deal.
