Swylite LST100+-I Single Event Digital In-Wall Timer Switch with Backlight, Ivory Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased and installed this Swylite Digital Wall Switch last November 2005 to control two outdoor patio lights with compact fluorescent lights (CFL). I also own an Intermatic 7 Day Wall Switch Timer that sells on Amazon for $5 more (the Intermatic switch is a poor product that broke and I don't recommend it.) I'm very satified with the operation and performance of this switch with no problems to report.
(NOTE: One of the reviewers posting on the Intermatic switch incorrectly stated "Electronic switch models cannot turn on CFL but only handle incadescent lamp." This Swylite switch is an electronic switch and handles CFL type lights just fine.)
Pros
1. Easy to program
2. Clear easy to read display (unlike the Intermatic switch)
3. Flush, low profile face (unlike the protruding Intermatic face)
4. No batteries needed (as required by the Intermatic switch)
5. Power outage memory (similar to the Intermatic switch unless the battery in the Intermatic switch dies)
6. Manual "on" switch is easily accessible and use (similar to the Intermatic switch)
7. Solid state design (unlike the Intermatic switch that has a small solenoid and gears to operate reducing reliability, durability, and increasing complexity)
8. Has programmed on/off, random on/off, manual on/off capability (similar to Intermatic)
Cons
1. Somewhat bulky installation, i.e., wire harness protrudes out from the side toward the rear of the unit making installation a little tougher than it should be. (similar to Intermatic switch)
2. Manual "On" Switch could have a little more solid feel, i.e., it has a slightly lightweight feel and doesn't have a crisp click when activated. However, the manual switch has been reliable. (Intermatic intelligently uses the front cover as a manual switch and works well when/if it works at all.)
Bottomline: I would buy this Swylite product again if I need a timer switch.

Swylite LST200+-I Dual Event Digital In-Wall Timer Switch with Backlight, Ivory Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchase two of the LST200 models a few months ago and am extremely pleased. Works very well. It is nice to have a variable timer -- you set an on and off time and each day it varies 10 minutes around that on and off time to make it appear as though you are home. Installation was easy and all the necessary parts were included (such as wire nuts).
Of note, the blue LCD display developed some bad crystals after 1 month of use in one of the devices (the other continues to work perfectly!). It functioned correctly, but the display was hard to read. I emailed the company and a replacement was sent the same day via priority mail with return postage paid.
The other advantage is that this device will run low-wattage lines. THIS IS DIFFERENT than other similar products that won't run low-wattage (e.g. lines that are hooked up to fluorescent lights). This WILL effectively run fluorescent lights on the line because it completely dampens the electricity in the line. Other products only reduce the voltage to the points where the lights just turn off. Not the case here. These are better.
It is rare these days to have such excellent customer service. This is a great product (I think the LCD problem was a fluke) and I highly recommmend it.

Swylite LST100-W Single Event Digital In-Wall Timer Switch, White Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I had mixed results and can only recommend to proceed with informed caution. There are unique positives to be considered as well.
First, the unit has a 7W minimum load, which is quite low compared to some competing brands that require a 40W minimum load. So if you have compact flourescents, this is one of a few that will work on such a small load. Others don't actualy cut off all the power and rely on the "load" to supply the resistence. My lights flickered even when off with competing brands. A single compact flourescent worked fine on this time with the tiny minimum load. However, I recommend that if you have any problems, throw a 40W incandescent bulb in and see if the problem goes away.
Second, the wires stick out the the right-side, which can be very difficult to work with compared to competing brands that stick out the back. If you have a tight box, planning on placing it on the right-side, or if you have other bulky switches (like other timers or dimmers) to the right of this, you might have signficiant trouble. If you have to force it, that could cause it to malfunction. I really wish the wires came out the back.
Third, Swylite's customer service is oustanding, responsive, and helpful if you have any technical problems. Unfortunately I did have trouble with two units I had purchased. At the first sign of faulty behavior on one of the two units (just a few days after installation) I had contacted Swylite through email. They promptly replied as we exchanged a few emails and quickly offered to sent out a replacement at no cost. Eventually the specific unit quicky deteriorated and significantly misbehaved, but since they did quickly replace that, let's consider that nicely resolved. The replacement unit is functioning perfectly for about two weeks now.
I said I purchased two units. Both failed to operate every now and then (every other week or so) and would start working again if you flipped the timer off and on once. I bet Swylite would replace the other if I asked, but instead bought a competing brand's timer that I am trying out for now.
Final thoughs: So again, the one replaced Swylite timer that I am still using has been functioning great. The company certainly backed it up promptly when I had a problem. My other timer from a competitor is absolutely outstanding, but it uses batteries for backup (provided) and has a 40W minimum load.

Timex Easy-to-Set Electronic Timer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought five of these units about six months ago and used each as a timer to prevent my cordless phones from overcharging. I have five Panasonic cordless phones stationed throughout the house and they really only need to charge about 3 hours per day, rather than 24 hours per day.
Six months later, not one -- not one -- of them is still working. They all died within a few months of use.
This is junk. Don't buy it.
