However, to find you the satisfactory digital light timers, you don’t have to just confine yourself to the above-mentioned options.

Compared to analog timer, digital timers are more convenient and easy to use. Unlike analog timer, digital timer doesn’t need a peg to make the settings any more. For example, digital outdoor lighting timer allows you to enter exactly the time you want to set directly. In addition, as the outdoor light timer is digital, they are more intuitive and you can use it immediately after you received and unpacked them. If you ever used analog timers, you might ever have the bad experience that you have to loop all the way through 24 hours again if you overshoot the time you want. But digital timer can solve this problem easily by just pressing the +/- buttons.

Currently 7 day programmable light switch is one of the most popular items on the market. There are lots of different models options out there. Usually they have common features including On-Off settings per day, rechargeable battery back up, self recharging battery back-up and Manual Override and so on.

If you are not going to deal with complicated task, a simple but heavy duty light switch with timer would make sense to you.

However, if you need more On Off settings per day, or other extra features such as countdown function, Random Switching or 3-Prong Plug outlet etc. You’d better look at other models such as Coleman Cable 59203 Indoor 24-Hr Digital Timer #0498659, Hamilton Dual Digital Light Timer, or Woods 59377 Digital 7-Day Lamp/Appliance Timer and so on. You can find more digital programmable timer options if you do some search yourself. They all offer total of 8 or more on/off settings, which can meet as much settings as you would like.

For example, some model features a random switching function, which will turn on and off the lights and devices according to preset time. The benefits of this feature is that the light timer would turn on and off the lamps, radios and other appliances randomly when you are going on vacation. This would make your house seem occupied and deter home burglars just like the motion detector lights. Besides, with the accurate and to-the-minute digital setting, you can use its sleep countdown feature, which is extremely useful in turning off lamps after you fall asleep.

Another thing need to consider before purchasing a digital appliance timer is that you need to make sure you are using 2-prong or 3-prong appliances. Most of outlet timers only deal with 2-prong appliances. If you are looking for light timer for 3-prong appliances, please don’t mix them up, or it may cause the inconvenience you don’t want.
