Swylite LST700+-BLK Seven Day Programmable In-Wall Timer Switch with Backlight, Black Review

I'm happy with this switch. The other products I've seen either can't do low power (I use it for my 13W CFL porchlight), have a janky door covering the controls, or look like they're from the 70's.
It has a nice large switch to override the current value. One thing I didn't realize when I bought it is that the blue backlight is always on, although it looks nice so it doesn't bother me.
Before installation I measured the power consumption. It consumes 0.3W when off, and 0.9W when on (with no load). This seems quite reasonable; it does not get warm at all which was one of my concerns.

Ingraham Outdoor Countdown Timer Review

Ingraham Outdoor Countdown Timer

I used to have the problem of falling half-asleep with the light on all night, and waking up to feel absolutely horrible the next day.
Anyway, I got one of these outdoor timers, covered up the photo-dectector with black tape, and plugged by bedstand light into it. Every two hours it will shut the light off. If I'm still awake I just turn it off and on again with a handy remote-cord I have. Then the light stays on another two hours.
When I was a kid my mother would make sure I didn't have the light on all night. This product is like an electronic mother!

Control holiday lights automatically by plugging them into the countdown timer. Select the amount of time you want the lights to be on. At dusk, your holiday lighting will be automatically turned on. Just set the timer once. It will repeat the program every day - and you can stay warm inside.
