Defender24 Hour Segment Timer Switch - Energy Saver Plug Standard Size - Programmable Time Controller

Works as it should

Good timer.

Timer works perfectly, only down side timer 'dial' sits quite high and is unsuitable for fairy light transformers as the plug stops the dial from turning

These are great plug timers. Smart plugs are great but cannot be reset remotely so if you aren't near the device - so if they update the software or the wifi goes down no matter what app/brand you have you have to still manually reset them so these dial/manual timers are fabulous to have in addition and a great back up if the smart plugs go down/offline. These plugs have not failed me yet! I know that if my smart plugs go down then these great devices will work as normal. Good size although if plugging into an extension or multi socket/gang plug then possibly can't put normal plug into socket next to the one this is using but thats not an issue for me. Battery life so far so good. Complete accuracy as well. Really highly recommend!!!

Purchase 2 of these plugs to attach to lamps. Very easy to set up, time them to work at 6-11 at night. Great for me when I come home late or go away. Happy with the purchase.

Haven't used it much yet though.

She ze is large and almost hinders the switch (on your socket) but time works well

This 24hr segment timer is a very practical useful product that you can set items to go on at pre-set times e.g lamps/any home appliances/a heater/a fan/Christmas decorations/say even when away whatever you find works best for you & in this day & age it can be a way of energy saving. A great thing is it can be for those who don’t want something too technical a straight forward item that doesn’t need the internet etc like us. & it is very good for a disabled person who can’t get to lights/appliances etc so these can go on at pre-set times/or for their carers say so a light is on in the dark. It measures about 11.4 cm x 7cm x 6cm & is overall a great product, that can also provide security, deters burglars & can give the impression someone is home if that’s what you require. Told it is easy to set up, each black segment that is pushed down is for 15 minutes of the item being on. However we thought we’d mention that it might be difficult for someone to set if they have dexterity problems etc because fiddly the trying to try push down the segments so some may need it done for them. Another thing is to ensure the current time is set, told you do this by rotating the dial until the black arrow is lined up with the correct time we circled it on one of our pictures in blue. The great thing we like is you can set things to go/off over a 24hr period & if you need it to go on/off a few times a day you can. & told should you require to, you can override the timer meaning the plug will provide power continuously that you do this by pushing the switch up to the I icon on the side of the plug we circled it on a picture in red. When it is operating/in action the red LED light goes on, one thing we thought we’d mention is it does make a clicking noise as timer dial is moving hence the 4 stars & not the 5 but if it isn’t near you it isn’t too bad.
